Abstract
We report on the existence of a hitherto undetected form of self-similarity, which we call extended self-similarity (ESS). ESS holds at high as well as at low Reynolds number, and it is characterized by the same scaling exponents of the velocity differences of fully developed turbulence.Keywords
