A coupled map lattice is introduced that simulates the time evolution of velocity differences in fully developed turbulent flows. The model considered is an extension of the Langevin theory to chaotic driving forces acting on a self-similar cascade of spatial levels. Compared to full simulations of the Navier-Stokes equation, the amount of necessary computing time is negligible.
