On the scaling of three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic turbulence

Abstract In this paper we investigate the scaling properties of three-dimensional isotropic and homogeneous turbulence. We analyze a new form of scaling (extended self-similarity) recently introduced in the literature. We found that anomalous scaling of the velocity structure functions is clearly detectable even at a moderate and low Reynolds number and it extends over a much wider range of scales with respect to the inertial range.
