The statistical properties of fully developed hydrodynamic turbulence can be successfully described using methods from nonextensive statistical mechanics. The predicted probability densities and scaling exponents precisely coincide with what is measured in various turbulence experiments. As a...

We combine Tsallis statistics with extended selfsimilarity to calculate scaling exponents of moments in a nonextensive statistical model of fully developed turbulence. One obtains numerical values of scaling exponents that agree very well with experimental data. Our approach is based on a...
