SMALL-SCALE INTERMITTENCY IN RANDOMLY STIRRED FLUIDS - COMMENT

We feel that the paper under consideration [M. Nandy, Phys. Rev. E 48, 1015 (1993)] contains some inaccuracies regarding the dimensional ana lysis used in the discussion of the corrections to Kolmogorov scaling laws. Our remarks are as follows. (i) Incorrect diagram equations have been used under the dimensional self-consistency analysis. (ii) from the hydrodynamic Ward identity it follows that a scale dimension of th e vertex is canonical. (iii) Simple dimensionality arguments are inval id when integrals in diagram equations contain divergences, as it is f or Kolmogorov's case. (iv) A multiplicative velocity renormalization i s inconsistent with Dyson diagram equations.
