Kolmogorov's ⅘th Law and Intermittency in Turbulence

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the relationship between velocity increments and intermittency in fluid turbulence.
• Experiments conducted at high Reynolds numbers to assess velocity increments
• Analysis of the scaling of the third moment of velocity increments with separation distance
• Model development to support observations of inertial-range intermittency
• The third moment of velocity increments scales linearly with separation distance in the inertial range
• Absolute values of velocity increments also follow the established linear relationship
• Intermittency is a plausible consequence of the observed scaling behavior
