“…By analysing structure functions across the jet, we demonstrated that higher-order statistics conditioned on fully turbulent regions inside the turbulent envelope are largely independent of external intermittency and recover self-similarity at small and intermediate scales. As zonal models, for example based on gradient trajectories (Mellado et al 2009;Gauding et al 2017;Denker et al 2020;Gauding et al 2021), have recently gained relevance for mixing and combustion models, this result has a direct application. Furthermore, it is necessary to examine how the conditional structure functions S n,tt depend on the threshold of the enstrophy that determines the position of the IB.…”
