Short definition of Structure function empirical constant (C2)
The empirical constant relating the longitudinal structure function DLL to the dissipation rate (ε)

This is the common definition for Structure function empirical constant, but other definitions maybe discussed within the wiki.

{{#default_form:DefineConcept}} {{#arraymap:Velocity profilers|,|x||}}

Dimensional analysis can be used to show that DLL must satisfy the "two-thirds law", i.e., DLL(r,t)=C2ε2/3r2/3 where C2 is a universal constant.

The value of the constant is generally accepted to be 2.1±0.1, based on the following studies:

  1. Sauvageot (1992)[1]: Used Doppler radar measurements of turbulence in the atmosphere to obtain a value of 2.0±0.1
  2. Saddoughi and Veeravalli (1994)[2]: Used measurements in a wind tunnel to obtain a value of 2.1±0.1
  3. Sreenivasan (1995) [3]: Compiled the results from experimental studies of both grid turbulence and shear flows to conclude that a value of 2.0 agreed best with the spectral inertial subrange equation
