<Kolmogorov 1941 theory> assumes locally universal small-scale velocity statistics set by mean <viscous dissipation> and <kinematic viscosity> at large <Reynolds number>. In its <inertial range> dimensional form, $S_p(r)\sim\epsilon^{p/3}r^{p/3}$. Large-scale modulation and <internal intermittency> require qualifying this unconditional scaling.
