Based on direct numerical simulations of homogeneous shear turbulence, homogeneous isotropic decaying turbulence and a turbulent channel flow, the scaling of the two-point velocity difference along gradient trajectories 〈Δun|s〉 as well as between the extreme points of the instantaneous turbulent kinetic energy field k is studied. In the first step, we examine the linear 〈Δun|s〉∝s·a∞ scaling, where s denotes the separation arclength along a gradient trajectory and a∞ is the asymptotic value of the conditional mean strain rate of large dissipation elements. Then, we investigate the scaling of the velocity difference between scalar extreme points 〈Δun|l〉 as well as the probability density function of the Euclidean distance P(l) between them, conditioned on compressive and extensive strain regions. We observe that while the overall velocity difference along gradient trajectories and between diffusively connected scalar extreme points exhibits linear scaling behaviour 〈Δun|l〉∝l, the conditional velocity differences of extensive 〈Δun|l+〉 and compressive regions 〈Δun|l−〉 are in contrast to the K41 theory proportional to l2/3. The scaling exponent of the overall comes to one part from the purely extensive (compressive) 〈Δun|l+〉 (〈Δun|l−〉), while the second contribution is due to the difference in weighting the different regions, thus involving the conditioned pdfs P(l+) and P(l−). We find that the latter relation scales with l1/3. The decomposition of 〈Δun|l〉 into two contributions scaling with l2/3 and l1/3, respectively, hence yields an alternative explanation for the observed linear regime.
