Abstract
Statistical theory of turbulence was initiated by G.I. Taylor [279] who proposed a characterization of a turbulence field by moment functions, that is, by mean values of products of field variables at neighboring points. In practice it corresponded to measurements of velocity changes in time by thermo — anemometers and by further averaging in time.
