Spectral and Intermittency Properties of Relativistic Turbulence
arXiv:1210.4066 · doi:10.1088/2041-8205/763/1/L12
Abstract
High-resolution numerical simulations are utilized to examine isotropic turbulence in a compressible fluid when long wavelength velocity fluctuations approach light speed. Spectral analysis reveals an inertial sub-range of relativistic motions with a broadly 5/3 index. The use of generalized Lorentz-covariant structure functions based on the four-velocity is proposed. These structure functions extend the She-Leveque model for intermittency into the relativistic regime.
