We address the problem of measuring time properties of response functions (Green functions) in Gaussian models (Orszag-McLaughin) and strongly non-Gaussian models (shell models for turbulence). We introduce the concept of halving-time statistics to have a statistically stable tool to quantify the time decay of response functions and generalized response functions of high order. We show numerically that in shell models for three-dimensional turbulence response functions are inertial range quantities. This is a strong indication that the invariant measure describing the shell-velocity fluctuations is characterized by short range interactions between neighboring shells.

Abstract
We address the problem of measuring time properties of response functions (Green functions) in Gaussian models (Orszag-McLaughin) and strongly non-Gaussian models (shell models for turbulence). We introduce the concept of halving-time statistics to have a statistically stable tool to quantify the time decay of response functions and generalized response functions of high order. We show numerically that in shell models for three-dimensional turbulence response functions are inertial range quantities. This is a strong indication that the invariant measure describing the shell-velocity fluctuations is characterized by short range interactions between neighboring shells.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
