We report the evidence for the existence of the universal, continuous turbulent cascade of velocity fluctuations with Kolmogorov -5/3 slope spanning 6 orders of length scales, from $10^4$ pc down to $10^{-2}$ pc. This was achieved by…
In three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence forced at large length scales, a constant energy flux $ \Pi_u $ flows from large scales to intermediate scales, and then to small scales. It is well known that for multiscale energy injection and…
