Abstract
We derive an equation satisfied by the dissipation rate correlation function, \(\left\langle {\varepsilon (\vec x + \vec r,t + \tau )\varepsilon (\vec x,t)} \right\rangle \) for the homogeneous, isotropic state of fully-developed turbulence from the the Navier–Stokes equation. In the equal time limit we show that the equation leads directly to two intermittency exponents μ1=2−ζ6 and μ2=z″4−ζ4, where the ζ's are exponents of velocity structure functions and z″4 is a dynamical exponent characterizing the fourth order structure function. We discuss the contributions of the pressure terms to the equation and the consequences of hyperscaling.
