A multifractal-like representation for multi-time, multi-scale velocity cor
relation in turbulence and dynamical turbulent models is proposed. The impo
rtance of subleading contributions to time correlations is highlighted. The
fulfillment of the dynamical constraints due to the equations of motion is
thoroughly discussed. The predictions stemming from this representation ar
e tested within the framework of shell models for turbulence. (C) 1999 Else
