“…In Figure 5, in;3D is plotted against D=δ F , where D is the most expected diameter of coherent fine scale eddies (D ¼ 8:0η) (Tanahashi et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2007). Inner cutoffs and models reported in previous studies (Goix and Shepherd, 1993;Gorgen and Gökalp, 1993;Gülder and Smallwood, 1995;Gülder et al, 2000;Kobayashi et al, 2005;Peters, 1986;Poinsot et al, 1990;Roberts et al, 1993;Shim et al, 2011;Smallwood et al, 1995) are also shown in Figure 5. The 3D inner cutoffs in;3D obtained in the present DNS have a comparable trend with previous experimental and numerical results shown in the figure.…”
