Multi-fractality of Solar Magnetic Fields: New Progress with HMI Valentina I. Abramenko Big Bear Solar Observatory of NJIT Poster #40
Flatness function as an indicator of multifractality Flatness function as an indicator of multifractality Fatness F( r ) is a constant for a Gaussian variable power law and grows as a power law when scale r vanishes for a multi-fractal field: Inertial range Scale, r F( r ) ~ r -κ-κ F( r ) =S ( r ) / (S ( r ) ) The multifractality index, κ κ
