Nomenclature

Frame of reference

• Define frame of reference, and notation. Use u,v,w and x,y, and z?
• Decomposition of total, mean, turbulent and waves.

Turbulence Spectrum

Taylor's Frozen Turbulence for converting temporal to spatial measurements $({\overline{u}}_1\frac{\partial }{\partial x}=\frac{\partial }{\partial t})$

• Missing the y-axis.
