Abstract
We derive two symmetric global scaling laws for third‐order structure functions of magnetized fluids under the assumptions of full isotropy, homogeneity and incompressibility. The compatibility with previous laws involving both structure and correlation functions of only the longitudinal components of the fields is demonstrated. These new laws provide a better set of functions with which one can determine intermittency scaling of MHD turbulence, as in the Solar Wind.Keywords
