Further comparison of theory and experiment for decay of homogeneous turbulence.

An analysis of the decay of homogeneous turbulence from a given initial state is compared with the experiment of Lin and Huang (1970). Comparisons were made for decay of turbulent energy, decay of energy-transfer spectra, decay of three-dimensional turbulent-energy spectra, and decay of higher-order spectral quantities V, R, and S, where these respectively represent functionals of three-, four-, and five-point spectral quantities. Good agreement between theory and experiment is noted.
