摘要
We present measurements of conditional probability density functions (PDFs) that allow one to systematically bridge from Eulerian to Lagrangian statistics in fully developed 3D turbulence. The transition is investigated for hydro- as well as magnetohydrodynamic flows and comparisons are drawn. Significant differences in the transition PDFs are observed for these flows and traced back to the differing coherent structures. In particular, we address the problem of an increasing degree of intermittency going from Eulerian to Lagrangian coordinates by means of the conditional PDFs involved in this transformation. First simple models of these PDFs are investigated in order to distinguish different contributions to the degree of Lagrangian intermittency.
