Abstract
We show that the inertial range spectrum of the Burgers equation has a viscosity-dependent correction at any wave number when the viscosity is small but not zero. We also calculate the spectrum of the Korteweg-deVries-Burgers equation and show that it can be partially mapped onto the inertial spectrum of a Burgers equation with a suitable effective diffusion coefficient. These results are significant for the understanding of turbulence.Year: 2005 PMID: 15753299 PMCID: PMC554814 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0500335102
