Abstract

We discuss general features of the operator product expansion and use it to infer multi-point manifestations of the energy cascade in turbulence. We calculate explicitly the possible form of the three-point velocity correlation function when one distance is smaller than two others. We elucidate manifestation of direct and inverse energy cascades in the three-point velocity correlation function.
