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 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): Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima Method (WTMM)
INTERMITTENCY MODELS P-model (Meneveau and Sreenivasan, 1987, 1991): P 1 = no intermittency P 1 =1 - fully intermittent turbulence Extended intermittency models (Tu et al., 1996, Marsch and Tu, 1997): - scaling functions for the Kolmogorov-like cascade: - scaling functions for the Kraichnan-like cascade: P 1 =0.5 - = ’ (q) = -1+ ( -1)q/2 P 1 =1 - = ’+1/3 = ’+1/2 (q)= (-1+ /2)q
…..Kolmogorov-like Kraicnan-like ---- p-model
