Abstract

The PDFs for energy dissipation rates created in a high resolution from 409634096^3 DNS for fully developed turbulence are analyzed in a high precision with the PDF derived within the formula of multifractal probability density function theory (MPDFT). MPDFT is a statistical mechanical ensemble theory constructed in order to analyze intermittent phenomena through the experimental PDFs with fat-tail. By making use of the obtained w-PDFs created from the whole of the DNS region, analyzed for the first time are the two partial PDFs, i.e., the max-PDF and the min-PDF which are, respectively, taken out from the partial DNS regions of the size 5123512^3 with maximum and minimum enstropy. The main information for the partial PDFs are the following. One can find a w-PDF whose tail part can adjust the slope of the tail-part of a max-PDF with appropriate magnification factor. The value of the point at which the w-PDF multiplied by the magnification factor starts to overlap the tail part of the max-PDF coincides with the value of the connection point for the theoretical w-PDF. The center part of the min-PDFs can be adjusted quite accurately by the scaled w-PDFs with a common scale factor.
