This is the common definition for Velocity inertial subrange model, but other definitions maybe discussed within the wiki.
Inertial subrange for steady-flows
This theoretical model predicts the spectral shape of velocities in wavenumber space.
[math]\displaystyle{ \Psi_{Vj}(\hat{k})=a_jC_k\varepsilon^{2/3}\hat{k}^{-5/3} }[/math]
Here [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{k} }[/math] is expressed in rad/m and [math]\displaystyle{ Vj }[/math] represents the velocities [math]\displaystyle{ V }[/math] in direction [math]\displaystyle{ j }[/math]. [math]\displaystyle{ C_k }[/math] is the empirical Kolmogorov universal constant of C = 1.5 (see Sreenivasan 1995 for a review on the universality of this constant). Amongst the three direction, the spectra deviates by the constant [math]\displaystyle{ a_j }[/math]:
- In the longitudinal direction, i.e., the direction of mean advection (j=1), [math]\displaystyle{ a_1=\frac{18}{55} }[/math]
- In the other directions [math]\displaystyle{ a_2=a_3=\frac{4}{3}a_1 }[/math]
