Short summary
Turbulence is found in many natural systems. We study its statistics in terms of scaling laws of up to fourth-order normalized moments for the velocity or magnetic fields through their relative behavior. We show analytically using existing intermittency models that the physical dimension of structures becomes irrelevant. The strongest intermittent structure has a parabolic scaling as found previously and confirmed by long simulations. More analysis will be performed using simplified models.
