Abstract
We consider a superstatistical model for a Lagrangian tracer particle in a high-Reynolds-number turbulent flow. The analytical model predictions are in excellent agreement with recent experimental data for flow between counter-rotating disks. In particular, the predicted Lagrangian scaling exponents zeta_{j} agree well with the measured exponents reported in H. Xu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.114503 96, 114503 (2006)]. The model also correctly predicts the shape of acceleration probability densities, correlation functions, statistical dependencies between components, and explains the fact that enstrophy lags behind dissipation.Year: 2007 PMID: 17358947 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.064502
