Abstract: The statistical properties of fluid particles transported by a fully developed turbulent flow are investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. Single trajectory statistics is investigated in a time range spanning more than three decades, from less than a tenth of the Kolmogorov timescale up to one large-eddy turnover time. Acceleration and velocity statistics show a neat quantitative agreement with recent experimental results. Trapping effects in vortex filaments give rise to enhanced small-scale intermittency on Lagrangian observables.
