Scalings and structures in turbulent Couette-Taylor flow

The scaling of velocity structure functions in Couette-Taylor flow [Lewis and Swinney, Phys. Rev. E 59, 5457 (1999)] is revisited to obtain more accurate values of the scaling exponents for the Reynolds number range investigated, 12,000 to 540,000 (Taylor Reynolds numbers, 3410(5); this transition corresponds to a visually observed break up of the Taylor vortex roll structure with increasing R.
