Growth of non-infinitesimal perturbations in turbulence

Abstract

We discuss the effects of finite perturbations in fully developed turbulence by introducing a measure of the chaoticity degree associated to a given scale of the velocity field. This allows one to determine the predictability time for non-infinitesimal perturbations, generalizing the usual concept of maximum Lyapunov exponent. We also determine the scaling law for our indicator in the framework of the multifractal approach. We find that the scaling exponent is not sensitive to intermittency corrections, but is an invariant of the multifractal models. A numerical test of the results is performed in the shell model for the turbulent energy cascade.
