Compressible Turbulence: The Cascade and its Locality

Compressible Turbulence: The Cascade and its Locality

We prove that interscale transfer of kinetic energy in compressible turbulence is dominated by local interactions. In particular, our results preclude direct transfer of kinetic energy from large-scales to dissipation scales, such as into shocks, in high Reynolds number turbulence as is commonly believed. Our assumptions on the scaling of …
