Abstract
The inertial range structure of turbulence is studied on the basis of an approximation derived by a systematic method of Lagrangian renormalized expansions. This method is also applied to the problem of a passive scalar field convected by turbulence, and some of its consequences are examined. Numerical values are obtained for various dimensionless constants in the inertial range including those in the k−5/3 spectrum law for the turbulent energy and the scalar field.Keywords
