The issue of intermittency in numerical solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations is addressed using a new set of variables whose evolution has been calculated through three sets of numerical simulations. These variables are defined on a periodic box $[0,\,L]^{3}$ such that $D_{m}(t) = \left(\varpi_{0}^{-1}\Omega_{m}\right)^{\alpha_{m}}$ where $\alpha_{m}= 2m/(4m-3)$ \& the set of frequencies $\Omega_{m}$ for $1 \leq m \leq \infty$ are defined by $\Omega_{m}(t) = \left(L^{-3}\I |\mbox{\boldmath$\omega$}|^{2m}dV\right)^{1/2m}$\,; the fixed frequency $\varpi_{0} = \nu L^{-2}$. All three simulations unexpectedly show that the $D_{m}$ are ordered for $m = 1\,,...,\,9$ such that \$D_{m+1}
