Here, we present a systematic attempt to measure multi-time and multi-scale correlations functions, by using high Reynolds numbers numerical simulations of fully homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. The main idea is to set-up an ensemble of probing stations riding the flow, i.e. measuring correlations in a reference frame centered on the trajectory of distinct fluid particles (the quasi-Lagrangian reference frame introduced by Belinicher & L'vov, Sov. Phys. JETP 66, 303 (1987)). In this way we reduce the large-scale sweeping and measure the non-trivial temporal dynamics governing the turbulent energy transfer from large to small scales. We present evidences of the existence of dynamic multiscaling: multi-time correlation functions are characterized by an infinite set of characteristic times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-03-29T11:20:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47.27.Gs", "47.53.+n", "47.80.-v", "47.10.ad", "47.27.E-" ], "keywords": [ "multi-time multi-scale correlation functions", "hydrodynamic turbulence", "reynolds numbers numerical simulations", "high reynolds numbers navier-stokes equations", "reference frame" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Physics of Fluids", "year": 2011, "month": "Aug", "volume": 23, "number": 8, "pages": 5107 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhFl...23h5107B" } } }
