Abstract

Spatiotemporal dynamics of intermittency in association with coarse-grained energy-dissipation rate fluctuations is discussed. This is done first by phenomenologically constructing the probability density for exponent field fluctuations that is introduced to characterize the energy-dissipation rate field, and then by proposing the Langevin dynamics derived with the projection-operator method on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equation. With a Gaussian approximation for exponent fluctuations, spatiotemporal correlation functions for coarse-grained energy-dissipation rate fluctuations are explicitly obtained.
