Abstract
A variety of turbulent intermittency models from the literature is listed and directly contrasted. The multifractal notation [J. Feder, Fractals (Plenum, New York, 1988)] is used to present these results. Two of the models in particular, Yamazaki’s [J. Fluid Mech. 219, 181 (1990)] B‐model and a prediction from renormalization‐group analysis (Yakhot et al.22 [Phys. Fluids A 1, 289 (1989)]), are closely examined and inherent flaws are pointed out.Keywords
