Abstract
Wavelet analysis can be used to measure directly the scaling exponents characterizing the local multifractal behaviour of the velocity field at inertial-range scales, without recourse to dissipation-type quantities. Preliminary results using data from the Modane S1 wind tunnel indicate that the most frequent exponents are close to the Kolmogorov 1941 value of 1/3. Violent rare events are however found with negative exponents of −0.1 or less.
