INERTIAL- AND DISSIPATION-RANGE ASYMPTOTICS IN FLUID TURBULENCE

We propose and verify a wave-vector-space version of generalized extended self-similarity [R. Benzi et al., Europhys. Lett. 32, 709 (1995)] and broaden its applicability to uncover intriguing, universal scaling in the far dissipation range by computing high-order ( <= 20) structure functions numerically for (1) the three-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equation (with and without hyperviscosity) and (2) the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada shell model for turbulence. Also, in case (2), with Taylor-microscale Reynolds numbers 4 x 104 <= Re lambda <= 3 x 106, we find that the inertial-range exponents (zeta p) of the order- p structure functions do not approach their Kolmogorov value p/3 as Re lambda increases.
