Abstract: We consider a three-dimensional acoustic field of an ideal gas in which all entropy production is confined to weak shocks and show that similar scaling relations hold for such a field as for forced Burgers turbulence, where the shock amplitude scales as $(epsilond{)}^{1/3}$ and the $p$:th order structure function scales as $(epsilond{)}^{p/3}r/d$, $epsilon$ being the mean energy dissipation per unit mass, $d$ the mean distance between the shocks and $r$ the separation distance. However, for the acoustic field $epsilon$ should be replaced by $epsilon+chi$, where $chi$ is associated with entropy production due to heat conduction. In particular, the third order longitudinal structure function scales as $langledelta{u}_r^{3}angle=-C(epsilon+chi)r$, where $C$ takes the value $12/5(gamma+1)$ in the weak shock limit, $gamma=c_p/c_v$ being the ratio between the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume.
