Short definition of Velocity inertial subrange model
The inertial subrange separates the energy-containing production range from the viscous dissipation range.

This is the common definition for Velocity inertial subrange model, but other definitions may be discussed within the wiki.



Inertial subrange for steady-flows

This theoretical model predicts the spectral shape of velocities in wavenumber space.

ΨVj(k^)=ajCkε2/3k^5/3

sketch

Here k^ is expressed in rad/m and Vj represents the velocities V in direction j. Ck is the empirical Kolmogorov universal constant of C = 1.5 [1]. Amongst the three direction, the spectra deviates by the constant aj: [2]

  • In the longitudinal direction, i.e., the direction of mean advection (j=1), a1=1855
  • In the other directions a2=a3=43a1

Inertial subrange for flows influenced by surface waves

Need to add equations and figures from Lumley & Terray[3]
