Kolmogorov turbulence in a random-force-driven Burgers equation

arXiv:adap-org/9506002 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.51.R2739

Abstract

The dynamics of velocity fluctuations, governed by the one-dimensional Burgers equation, driven by a white-in-time random force with the spatial spectrum $\overline{|f(k)|^2}\proptok^{-1}$, is considered. High-resolution numerical experiments conducted in this work give the energy spectrum with . The observed two-point correlation function reveals with the "dynamical exponent" . High-order moments of velocity differences show strong intermittency and are dominated by powerful large-scale shocks. The results are compared with predictions of the one-loop renormalized perturbation expansion.
