Length scales are determined that govern the behavior at small separations of the correlations of fluid-particle acceleration, viscous force, and pressure gradient. The length scales and an associated universal constant are quantified on…
Features of the turbulent cascade are investigated for various datasets from three different turbulent flows. The analysis is focused on the question as to whether developed turbulent flows show universal small scale features. To answer…
Equal-time scaling exponents in fully developed turbulence typically exhibit non anomalous scaling in the inverse cascade of two-dimensional (2D) turbulence and anomalous scaling in three dimensions. We demonstrate that multiscaling is not…
Velocity increments over a distance r and turbulent energy dissipation on a box of size r are well described by the multifractal models of fully developed turbulence. These quantities and models however, do not involve time-correlations and…
