Abstract

Using experimental transverse velocity data for very high-Reynolds-number turbulence, we suggest a model describing both the formation of intermittency and asymmetry of turbulence. The model, called the ‘bump model’, is a modification of the ramp model suggested previously. The connection between asymmetry and intermittency makes it possible to study the latter with relatively low moments.
