Self-similarity is a property of an object or process wherein a part is similar to the whole. Mathematically, it can often be expressed as a power-law scaling of the quantity of interest. Extended self-similarity is a concept widely used in…

It is shown that the two remarkable properties of turbulence, the Extended Self-Similarity (ESS) [R. Benzi {\it et al.}, Phy. Rev. E {\bf 48}, R29, (1993)] and the She-Leveque Hierarchical Structure (SLHS) [Z.S. She and E. Leveque, Phy.…

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…
We revisit the well-known problem of multiscaling in substances passively advected by homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows or passive scalar turbulence. To that end we propose a two-parameter continuum hydrodynamic model for an…
