Abstract
The remote left tail of the velocity gradients probability density function (PDF) in Burgers forced turbulence was analyzed by saddle point approximation in the path integral describing the velocity statistics. The velocity field configuration realizing the maximum of probability was studied numerically. The analytical solution for the long-time part of the instanton was studied numerically. Direct solving of instanton equations by iterations were also demonstrated.
