In this paper, a multiscale description of the Lagrangian velocity of the fluid particle is proposed. This is accomplished by applying a Hilbert based technique, namely Hilbert-Huang Transform, to a DNS database with Reλ = 400. An inertial range is observedonthefrequencyrange0.01<ωτη <0.1.Thescalingexponentsζ(q)arethenextractedwithoutresortingtheExtendedSelf Similarity procedure. The measured ζ(q) is consistent with the multifractal prediction in the Lagrangian frame as proposed in [Biferale et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 64502 (2004)].
