Burgers turbulence subject to a force $f(x,t)=\sum_jf_j(x)\delta(t-t_j)$, where the $t_j$'s are ``kicking times'' and the ``impulses'' $f_j(x)$ have arbitrary space dependence, combines features of the purely decaying and the continuously…
We present results for the 1 dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation when the spatial range of the forcing varies. As the range of forcing moves from small scales to large scales, the system goes from a chaotic, structureless…
