We consider the fractional unforced Burgers equation in the one-dimensional space-periodic setting:
 $$$\nonumber\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}+(f(u))_x +ν Λ^{α} u = 0, t ≥ 0,\ \ \ \ {\bf{x}} ∈ {\mathbb{T}}^d = ({\mathbb{R}}/{\mathbb{Z}})^d.$$$
Here
 $f$
is strongly convex and satisfies a growth condition,
 $Λ = \sqrt{-Δ}, \ ν$
is small and positive, while
 $α ∈ (1,\ 2)$
is a constant in the subcritical range.
For solutions
 $u$
of this equation, we generalise the results obtained for the case
 $α = 2$
(i.e. when
 $-Λ^{α}$
is the Laplacian) in [12]. We obtain sharp estimates for the time-averaged Sobolev norms of
 $u$
as a function of
 $ν$
. These results yield sharp
 $ν$
-independent estimates for natural analogues of quantities characterising the hydrodynamical turbulence, namely the averages of the increments and of the energy spectrum. In the inertial range, these quantities behave as a power of the norm of the relevant parameter, which is respectively the separation
 $\ell$
in the physical space and the wavenumber
 $\bf{k}$
in the Fourier space.
The form of all estimates is the same as in the case
 $α = 2$
; the only thing which changes is that
 $ν$
is replaced by
 $ν^{1/(α-1)}$
.
