Analogies between scaling in turbulence, field theory, and critical phenomena

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

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