Abstract
We measure the scaling behavior of transverse structure functions of a turbulent flow behind a grid. As for the scaling exponents of longitudinal structure functions, there is clear evidence for anomalous scaling. We compare both scaling exponents and probability distribution functions of velocity differences to the prediction of multifractal models.
