To characterize fluctuations in a turbulent flow, one usually studies different moments of velocity increments and dissipation rate, $\overline{(v(x+r)-v(x))^{n}}\propto r^{\zeta_{n}}$ and $\overline{{\cal E}^{n}}\propto Re^{d_{n}}$,…

We study a model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid, based on the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, by means of the field theoretic renormalization group. In this approach, scaling properties are related to the fixed…
We discuss a stochastic closure for the equation of motion satisfied by multi-scale correlation functions in the framework of shell models of turbulence. We give a systematic procedure to calculate the anomalous scaling exponents of…
We propose a new approach to the old-standing problem of the anomaly of the scaling exponents of nonlinear models of turbulence. We achieve this by constructing, for any given nonlinear model, a linear model of passive advection of an…
We consider the intermittent behavior of superfluid turbulence in $^4$He. Due to the similarity in the nonlinear structure of the two-fluid model of superfluidity and the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations one expects the scaling exponents…

On the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations we develop the statistical theory of many space-time correlation functions of velocity differences. Their time dependence is {\em not} scale invariant: $n$-order correlations functions exhibit…
It is shown that the idea that scaling behavior in turbulence is limited by one outer length $L$ and one inner length $\eta$ is untenable. Every n'th order correlation function of velocity differences $\bbox{\cal F}_n(\B.R_1,\B.R_2,\dots)$…
In anisotropic turbulence the correlation functions are decomposed in the irreducible representations of the SO(3) symmetry group (with different "angular momenta" $\ell$). For different values of $\ell$ the second order correlation…
