We discuss a possible theoretical interpretation of the self scaling property of turbulent flows (Extended Self Similarity). Our interpretation predicts that, even in cases when ESS is not observed, a generalized self scaling, must be…
We present a study of intermittency in a turbulent channel flow. Scaling exponents of longitudinal streamwise structure functions, $\zeta_p /\zeta_3$, are used as quantitative indicators of intermittency. We find that, near the center of…
