CALCULATION OF THE SCALING PROPERTIES OF TURBULENCE Structure functions of a measured fluctuating parameter g(x): Singularity spectrum D(h) (Legendre transformation): Wavelet transform:
Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima Method (WTMM) Wavelet based partition function: Scaling law of the partition function along the maxima line: Singularity spectrum D(h) of the WTMM function (q): The relation between (q) and WTMM exponent (q):
INTERMITTENCY MODELS P-model (Meneveau and Sreenivasan, 1987, 1991): P1 = 0.5 - no intermittency P1=1 - fully intermittent turbulence Extended intermittency models (Tu et al., 1996, Marsch and Tu, 1997): - scaling functions for the Kolmogorov-like cascade: P1=0.5 - =’ (q) = -1+ (-1)q/2 - scaling functions for the Kraichnan-like cascade: P1=1 - =’+1/3 = ’+1/2 (q)= (-1+ /2)q
