2. CALCULATION OF THE SCALING PROPERTIES OF TURBULENCE Structure functions of a measured fluctuating parameter g(x): Singularity spectrum D(h) (Legendre transformation): Wavelet transform:

3. 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)

7. INTERMITTENCY MODELS P-model (Meneveau and Sreenivasan, 1987, 1991): P 1 = 0.5 - 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
