β¦ Synopsis
Statistical properties of a turbulent cascade are evaluated by considering the joint probability distribution p (v[, L i; v2, L2) for two velocity increments Vl, v2 of different length scales Ll, L2. We present experimental evidence that the conditional probability distribution p(v2, L21vl, L l) obeys a Chapman-Kolmogorov equation. We evaluate the Kramers-Moyal coefficients and show evidence that higher-order coefficients vanish except for the drift and diffusion coefficient. As a result the joint probability distributions obeys a Fokker-Planck equation. We calculate drift and diffusion coefficients and discuss their relationship to universal behaviour in the scaling region and to intermittency of the turbulent cascade.

We use a wavelet-based deconvolution method to extract some multiplicative cascading process from experimental turbulent velocity signals. We show that at the highest accessible Reynolds numbers, the experimental data do not allow us to discriminate between various phenomenological cascade models re
