Scientific paper

The authors formulate a two-stage scheme for astrophysical turbulence in the frame of a revised Kolmogorov self-similar theory, hierarchical in nature. According to this approach, gravitation is revealed to be the main source of dissipated energy supporting the turbulent cascade. Results are compared with observational data about molecular clouds in the Galaxy and with the forecastings of an intermittent model of the same authors.
