Dynamical scaling and intermittency in shell models of turbulence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a model for the turbulent energy cascade aimed at studying the effect of dynamical scaling on intermittency. In particular, we show that by slowing down the energy-transfer mechanism for fixed energy flux, intermittency decreases and eventually disappears. This result supports the conjecture that intermittency can be observed only if energy is flowing towards faster and faster scales of motion.

Intermittency in Stochastically Perturbed Turbulent Models
Random dynamical models obtained as a perturbation of the GOY (GledzerOhkitani-Yamada) shell model for three-dimensional turbulence are defined. Both static (time-independent) and dynamical scaling properties of the randomly perturbed model are studied. The random static-inviscid manifold, in contrast to the dynamical evolution, does not show intermittent scaling laws. This behavior is linked t...
متن کاملShell Models for Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
We review the main properties of shell models for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. After a brief account on shell models with nearest neighbour interactions, the paper focuses on the most recent results concerning dynamical properties and intermittency of a model which is a generalization to MHD of the Gledzer-Yamada-Okhitani (GOY) model for hydrodynamic. Applications to astrophysical prob...
متن کاملIntermittency in turbulence: computing the scaling exponents in shell models.
We discuss a stochastic closure for the equation of motion satisfied by multiscale correlation functions in the framework of shell models of turbulence. We present a plausible closure scheme to calculate the anomalous scaling exponents of structure functions by using the exact constraints imposed by the equation of motion. We present an explicit calculation for fifth-order scaling exponent by v...
متن کاملIntermittency in Plasma Turbulence
Intermittency in fluid turbulence can be evidentiated through the analysis of Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) for velocity fluctuations, which display a strong non–gaussian behavior at small scales. In this paper we investigate the occurrence of intermittency in plasma turbulence by studying the departure from the gaussian distribution of PDF for both velocity and magnetic fluctuations...
متن کاملChaotic properties of a fully developed model turbulence
Shell models of turbulence have been employed as toy models which, in their chaotic states, show statistical properties similar to real fluid turbulence, including Kolmogorov energy spectrum and intermittency. These models are interesting because, at the present stage, it is still quite difficult or almost impossible to study relations between those traditional statistical properties and the st...
