This lecture covers the concept of intermittency corrections to the K41 theory in turbulence. The instructor discusses the breakdown of self-similarity (H2) and the implications for the scaling exponent. Various models and examples are presented to illustrate the corrections needed in the inertial range. The lecture also touches on the energy spectrum, Richardson cascade, and the fundamental open questions in turbulence theory.
