Abstract

It is necessary to build turbulence model to study the response of aircraft to atmospheric turbulence for high resolution earth observation. The conventional method is on the basis of Dryden's model with the assumption that individual patches are Gaussian. In this paper, based on Kraichnan's refined similarity idea, a new 1D atmospheric turbulence model is set up by introducing the energy transfer rate as an intermittency disturbance to a Gaussian process. Our results show that the turbulent fields generated by our new method exhibit an anomalous scaling described by the She-Leveque (SL) formula, which is now well accepted for homogenous and isotropic turbulence.
