چکیده

The multifractal theory of turbulence uses a saddle-point evaluation in determining the power-law behaviour of structure functions. Without suitable precautions, this could lead to the presence of logarithmic corrections, thereby violating known exact relations such as the four-fifths law. Using the theory of large deviations applied to the random multiplicative model of turbulence and calculating subdominant terms, we explain here why such corrections cannot be present.

Towards a dynamical theory of multifractals in turbulence

Making use of the exact equations for structure functions, supplemented by the equations for dissipative anomaly as well as an estimate for the Lagrangian acceleration of fluid particles, we obtain a main result of the multifractal theory of turbulence. The central element of the theory is a dissipation cut-off that depends on the order of the structure function. An expression obtained for the ...

Multifractal and Monofractal Scaling in a Laboratory Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Experiment

Both multifractal and monofractal scaling of structure function exponents are observed in the turbulent magnetic fluctuations of the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment plasma. Structure function and probability distribution function (PDF) analysis exhibits multifractal scaling exponents in low frequency, inertial range fluctuations of the turbulence but monofractal scaling in higher frequency, dis...

Gibbsian Hypothesis in Turbulence

We show that Kolmogorov multipliers in turbulence cannot be statistically independent of others at adjacent scales (or even a finite range apart) by numerical simulation of a shell model and by theory. As the simplest generalization of independent distributions, we suppose that the steady-state statistics of multipliers in the shell model are given by a translation-invariant Gibbs measure with ...

Scaling and dissipation in the GOY shell model

This is a paper about multifractal scaling and dissipation in a shell model of turbulence, called the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada (GOY) model. This set of equations describes a one-dimensional cascade of energy towards higher wave vectors. When the model is chaotic, the high-wave-vector velocity is a product of roughly independent multipliers, one for each logarithmic momentum shell. The appropriat...
