Replace this published figure with an annotated example spectrum that has both the inertial and viscous subranges for velocities highlighted. Correct labels.

Spectra in the frequency domain are converted into the spatial domain via Taylor's Frozen Turbulence hypothesis. Convert time derivatives to spatial gradients along the direction of profiling using

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} = \frac{1}{U_P} \frac{\partial}{\partial t} }[/math] .

Convert frequency spectra into wavenumber spectra using

[math]\displaystyle{ k = f/U_P }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \Psi(k) = U_P \Psi(f) }[/math] .


  • Missing the y-axi variables
  • Lowest frequency and wavenumber resolvable
