EUROMECH Colloquium 512Small Scale Turbulence and Related Gradient Statistics Round Table 1 Objectives of this meeting • Establish possible concensus of the ‘new and post- Kolmogorov ideas • asymptotic nature of Kolmogorov (1941), Oboukhov(1949), Yaglom(1949) • versus more realistic (but more difficult to handle) framework of Karman- Howarth (1936) • recognition of effects of forcing / large-scale inhomogeneities on small scales • ----> non-universality ? • Particular attention to the wavenumber transfer • and dissipation rate of the scalar variance • ------> unexpected behaviour of the small scale scalar fluctuations …? • Difficulties on the measurement front ? • Can we expect significant improvements re corrections ? • e.g. use local axisymmetry instead of local isotropy ?
