Tsinober, A. (author), Vedula, P. (author), Yeung, P.K. (author)The properties of acceleration fluctuations in isotropic turbulence are studied in direct numerical simulations (DNS) by decomposing the acceleration as the sum of local and convective contributions (aL = ?u/?t and aC = u??u), or alternatively as the sum of irrotational and solenoidal contributions [aI = ??(p/?) and aS = ??2u].
