The comparison suggests that the error due to truncation increases faster at higher wavenumbers, k , and the increase obeys a simple scaling law in the inertial subrange k ≪ K max . Some statistics, such as the energy and dissipation spectra, may remain insensitive to the error, even in the later period, provided that K max η∼1 (η is the Kolmogorov length scale), although DNS fields with different K max are then essentially uncorrelated to each other.Read More
