Abstract

Using high Reynolds number experimental data, we search for most dissipative, most intense vortices. These structures possess a scaling predicted by log-Poisson model for the dissipation field εr. These new experimental data suggest that the most intense structures have co-dimension less than 2. The log-Poisson statistics is compared with log-binomial which follows from the random β-model.
