Extract

1. Taylor has shown (1) that two characteristic lengthsλ and λη may be defined for turbulent fluid motion. The length λ, which is connected with the dissipation of energy, is, for isotropic turbulence, given by

where is the mean rate of dissipation of energy per unit volume and represents the mean square value of any component of velocity. The length λη can be defined in terms of thus

where For isotropic turbulence Taylor assumed that

where B is a constant. Since the turbulence is isotropic,

and so, from (1), (2), (3) and (4) we have
