Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate that the problem of turbulent bursts can be tackled through a complex systems approach. Specifically, by considering both duration and intensity of the bursting events, one can incorporate the effect of bursts on the turbulence statistics at any specified scale of the flow, thereby allowing one to connect the origin of bursts to the presence of organized eddy motions in turbulent flows called coherent structures. Through our approach we discover a particular aspect of universality associated with turbulent bursts and contribute toward the development of next-generation turbulence models by creating a union between complex systems science and fluid mechanics.
