V. Lvov et I. Procaccia, EXACT RESUMMATIONS IN THE THEORY OF HYDRODYNAMIC TURBULENCE .3. SCENARIOS FOR ANOMALOUS SCALING AND INTERMITTENCY, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 53(4), 1996, pp. 3468-3490
Elements of the analytic structure of anomalous scaling and intermitte
ncy in fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence are described. We focus
here on the structure functions of velocity differences that satisfy
inertial range scaling laws S-n(R)similar to R(zeta n), and the correl
ation of energy dissipation K-epsilon epsilon(R)similar to R(-mu). The
goal is to understand from first principles what is the mechanism tha
t is responsible for changing the exponents zeta(n) and mu from their
classical Kolmogorov values. In paper II of this series [V. S. L'vov a
nd I. Procaccia, Phys. Rev. E 52, 3858 (1995)] it was shown that the e
xistence of an ultraviolet scale (the dissipation scale eta) is associ
ated with a spectrum of anomalous exponents that characterize the ultr
aviolet divergences of correlations of gradient fields. The leading sc
aling exponent in this family was denoted Delta. The exact resummation
of ladder diagrams resulted in a ''bridging relation,'' which determi
ned Delta in terms of zeta(2): Delta = 2-zeta(2). In this paper we con
tinue our analysis and show that nonperturbative effects may introduce
multiscaling (i.e., zeta(n) not linear in n) with the renormalization
scale being the infrared outer scale of turbulence L. It is shown tha
t deviations from the classical Kolmogorov 1941 theory scaling of S-n(
R) (zeta(n) not equal n/3) must appear if the correlation of dissipati
on is mixing (i.e., mu>0). We suggest possible scenarios for multiscal
ing, and discuss the implication of these scenarios on the values of t
he scaling exponents zeta(n) and their ''bridge'' with mu.
