Self-scaling of Turbulent Energy Dissipation Correlators

by Jürgen Schmiegel
Thiele Research Reports Number 10 (October 2004)
In a number of recent papers [1, 2, 3, 4], a continuous spatio-temporal process based on the integration of Lévy bases was proposed to describe the statistics of the turbulent energy dissipation. An immediate consequence of this model is self-scaling of dissipation correlators, similar to the concept of Extended Self Similarity (ESS) for velocity increments. We report empirical findings about self-scaling of dissipation correlators that support the Lévy based dynamical modeling of the energy dissipation.
