In order to analyse results for structure functions, $S_n(r)$, we propose plotting the ratio $|S_n(r)/S_3(r)|$ against the separation $r$. This method differs from the extended self-similarity (ESS) technique, which plots $S_n(r)$ against…
From Navier-Stokes turbulence numerical simulations we show that for the extended self similarity (ESS) method it is essential to take the third order structure function taken with the modulus and called $D_3^*(r)$, rather than the standard…

In turbulent flows the $n$'th order structure functions $S_n(R)$ scale like $R^{\zeta_n}$ when $R$ is in the "inertial range". Extended Self-Similarity refers to the substantial increase in the range of power law behaviour of $S_n(R)$ when…

Extended Self-Similarity (ESS), a procedure that remarkably extends the range of scaling for structure functions in Navier--Stokes turbulence and thus allows improved determination of intermittency exponents, has never been fully explained.…
It is shown using experimental and numerical data that within the traditional inertial subrange defined by where the third order structure function is linear that the higher order structure function scaling exponents for longitudinal and…
Third-order pseudo-transitions in finite systems reflect reorganization beyond conventional criticality, yet their identification usually relies on microcanonical entropy, which is often inaccessible in practice. Here we introduce a…
In this paper we report numerical and experimental results on the scaling properties of the velocity turbulent fields in several flows. The limits of a new form of scaling, named Extended Self Similarity(ESS), are discussed. We show that,…
The anomalous scaling exponents $\zeta_{n}$ of the longitudinal structure functions $S_{n}$ for homogeneous isotropic turbulence are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations by using field theoretic methods to develop a low energy…
A recent discovery about the inertial range of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is the saturation of the scaling exponents $\zeta_n$ for large $n$, defined via structure functions of order $n$ as $S_{n}(r)=\overline{(\delta_r…
The pseudospectral method is a powerful tool for finding highly precise solutions of Schr\"{o}dinger's equation for few-electron problems. We extend the method's scope to wave functions with non-zero angular momentum and test it on several…
We propose a scheme for the calculation from the NS equations of the scaling exponents $\zeta_n$ of the $n$th order correlators in fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence. The scheme is nonperturbative and constructed to respect the…
We discuss on an example a general mechanism of apparition of anomalous scaling in scale invariant systems via zero modes of a scale invariant operator. We discuss the relevance of such mechanism in turbulence, and point out a peculiarity…
