Suppose we set up an experiment in which we can control all the mean parameters. An example might be steady flow through a pipe, where we can control the mean velocity \(\mathop V\limits^ - \). Now insert a probe, or some such measuring device, at a fixed location far from the boundaries and measure the flow velocity as a function of time. The result of this measurement might look something like Fig. 36.1.
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
