Abstract
This paper provides a short introduction to the consequences of interm ittency on the statistical properties of fully developed turbulence, m ainly on (a) scaling laws for the different moments of velocity, (b) e nergy distribution and (c) diffusion behaviour. The description of int ermittency is carried out in the fractal beta model and in a more gene ral multifractal perspective.
