Towards a two-fluid picture of intermittency in shell models of turbulence
Abstract
Intermittency in the Gledzer-Okhitani-Yamada (GOY) model of turbulence is explained in terms of collisions of coherent soliton-like structures with a random background issuing from the desintegration of their predecessors. This two-fluid picture is substantiated by the elucidation of local dynamical mechanisms leading to anomalous growth of coherent structures, their detection in true signals involving forcing and dissipation, and an investigation of their statistics.
