Turbulence in Fluid and Plasma: Search for a New Paradigm

Abstract

A first principle explanation of the origin of intermittency and nonlinear structure formation in the Lagrangian velocity increments of a turbulent flow is presented in the context of a scale invariant analytical formalism that is being developed recently. The copious generation of power laws and nonlinear exponents in the structure functions are shown to follow quite naturally in the present formalism.
