Scaling of locally averaged energy dissipation and enstrophy density in isotropic turbulence

Using direct numerical simulations of isotropic turbulence in periodic cubes of several grid sizes, the largest being 8192 ^3 yielding a microscale Reynolds number of 1300, we study the properties of pressure Laplacian to understand differences in the inertial range scaling of enstrophy density and...
