We show that different ways of extracting time scales from time-dependent velocity structure functions lead to different dynamic-multiscaling exponents in fluid turbulence. These exponents are related to equal-time multiscaling exponents by…

Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is ubiquitous and a fundamental ingredient underlying many astrophysical phenomena. The multiphase nature of interstellar medium and diversity of driving mechanisms give rise to spatial variation of…

We explore some consequences of the ``alpha model,'' also called the ``Lagrangian-averaged'' model, for two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This model is an extension of the smoothing procedure in fluid…
