A detailed comparison between data from experimental measurements and numerical simulations of Lagrangian velocity structure functions in turbulence is presented. By integrating information from experiments and numerics, a quantitative understanding of the velocity scaling properties over a wide range of time scales and Reynolds numbers is achieved. The local scaling properties of the Lagrangian velocity increments for the experimental and numerical data are in good quantitative agreement for all time lags. The degree of intermittency changes when measured close to the Kolmogorov time scales or at larger time lags. This study resolves apparent disagreements between experiment and numerics.

We compare experimental data and numerical simulations for the dynamics of inertial particles with finite density in turbulence. In the experiment, bubbles and solid particles are optically tracked in a turbulent flow of water using an Extended Laser
Doppler Velocimetry technique. The probability density functions (PDF) of particle accelerations and their auto-correlation in time are computed. Numerical results are obtained from a direct numerical simulation in which a suspension of passive pointwise particles is tracked, with the same finite density and the same response time as in the experiment. We observe a good agreement for both the variance of acceleration and the autocorrelation timescale of the dynamics; small discrepancies on the shape of the acceleration PDF are observed. We discuss the effects induced by the finite size of the particles, not taken into account in the present numerical simulations.
Lagrangian properties obtained from a Particle Tracking Velocimetry experiment in a turbulent flow at intermediate Reynolds number are presented. Accurate sampling of particle trajectories is essential in order to obtain the Lagrangian structure func
tions and to measure intermittency at small temporal scales. The finiteness of the measurement volume can bias the results significantly. We present a robust way to overcome this obstacle. Despite no fully developed inertial range we observe strong intermittency at the scale of dissipation. The multifractal model is only partially able to reproduce the results.
Global spectral analysis (GSA) is used as a tool to test the accuracy of numerical methods with the help of canonical problems of convection and convection-diffusion equation which admit exact solutions. Similarly, events in turbulent flows computed
by direct numerical simulation (DNS) are often calibrated with theoretical results of homogeneous isotropic turbulence due to Kolmogorov, as given in Turbulence -U. Frisch, Cambridge Univ. Press, UK (1995). However, numerical methods for the simulation of this problem are not calibrated, as by using GSA of convection and/or convection-diffusion equation. This is with the exception in A critical assessment of simulations for transitional and turbulence flows-Sengupta, T.K., In Proc. of IUTAM Symp. on Advances in Computation, Modeling and Control of Transitional and Turbulent Flows, pp 491-532, World Sci. Publ. Co. Pte. Ltd., Singapore (2016), where such a calibration has been advocated with the help of convection equation. For turbulent flows, an extreme event is characterized by the presence of length scales smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale, a heuristic limit for the largest wavenumber present without being converted to heat. With growing computer power, recently many simulations have been reported using a pseudo-spectral method, with spatial discretization performed in Fourier spectral space and a two-stage, Runge-Kutta (RK2) method for time discretization. But no analyses are reported to ensure high accuracy of such simulations. Here, an analysis is reported for few multi-stage Runge-Kutta methods in the Fourier spectral framework for convection and convection-diffusion equations. We identify the major source of error for the RK2-Fourier spectral method using GSA and also show how to avoid this error and specify numerical parameters for achieving highest accuracy possible to capture extreme events in turbulent flows.
Using experimental data on thermal convection, obtained at a Rayleigh number of 1.5 $times 10^{11}$, it is shown that the temperature structure functions $<Delta T_{r}^p>$, where $Delta T_r$ is the absolute value of the temperature increment over a d
istance $r$, can be well represented in an intermediate range of scales by $r^{zeta_p} phi (r)^{p}$, where the $zeta_p$ are the scaling exponents appropriate to the passive scalar problem in hydrodynamic turbulence and the function $phi (r) = 1-a(ln r/r_h)^2$. Measurements are made in the midplane of the apparatus near the sidewall, but outside the boundary layer.
It is shown that the Truncated Euler Equations, i.e. a finite set of ordinary differential equations for the amplitude of the large-scale modes, can correctly describe the complex transitional dynamics that occur within the turbulent regime of a conf
ined 2D Navier-Stokes flow with bottom friction and a spatially periodic forcing. In particular, the random reversals of the large scale circulation on the turbulent background involve bifurcations of the probability distribution function of the large-scale circulation velocity that are described by the related microcanonical distribution which displays transitions from gaussian to bimodal and broken ergodicity. A minimal 13-mode model reproduces these results.
