{c}
<Fabio Lepreti> is a physicist who studies statistical and dynamical models of <turbulence>. A paper with <Vincenzo Carbone> and <Pierluigi Veltri>, published in 2006 and archived in 2007, constructed a model for the spatial and temporal unevenness of turbulent <dissipation>. The model combined a <shell model of turbulence> for transfer between scales with rules for distributing the dissipated energy across space.<Model for the spatio-temporal intermittency of the energy dissipation in turbulent flows by Fabio Lepreti and others>[abstract and journal reference, Physical Review E74,026306]{ref}
A control parameter adjusted the strength of <intermittency (turbulence)>, and <numerical simulations> tested the resulting scaling. This addresses a physical distinction: an average dissipation rate can be steady even when individual locations undergo rare intense bursts. A model that reproduces the average alone has not yet explained that concentration in space and time.<Model for the spatio-temporal intermittency of the energy dissipation in turbulent flows by Fabio Lepreti and others>[abstract, spatial redistribution and numerical validation]{ref}
