In continuum mechanics, an energy cascade involves the transfer of energy from large scales of motion to the small scales ...
Close enough to the critical point, everything can be reexpressed in terms of certain ratios of the powers of the reduced quantities. These are the scaling functions. The origin of scaling functions can be seen from the renormalization group. The critical point is an infrared fixed point. In a sufficiently small neighborhood of the critical ...
