Abstract

We discuss two distinct analogies between turbulence and field theory. In one analogue, the field theory has an infrared attractive renormalization-group fixed point and corresponds to critical phenomena. In the other analogue, the field theory has an ultraviolet attractive fixed point, as in quantum chromodynamics.
