The Eulerian Time Correlation Function in Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence

  • Conference paper
Statistical Theories and Computational Approaches to Turbulence

Abstract

Two general models are proposed for the Eulerian time correlation function in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The first is based on continued fraction approximations to its Laplace transform, and the second is based on random sweeping by apossibl non-Gaussian velocity field. Both models can give reasonable quantitative agreement with DNS data for moderate time separations over which the time correlation functions at different wavenumbers exhibit a common self-similar form.
