A relation between the Lagrangian and Eulerian turbulent velocity autocorrelations

Direct computation of the Lagrangian autocorrelation is not feasible since generally one cannot measure the turbulent velocity of each fluid particle. A model whereby the Lagrangian autocorrelation is determined in terms of a domain integral of a set of regular Eulerian autocorrelations is advanced. The Eulerian autocorrelations are to be acquired concurrently at all positions in the flow field. Three novel averaging procedures are utilized for obtaining the relationship between the Lagrangian and Eulerian autocorrelations. This relationship is not constrained to either homogeneous or isotropic turbulence.
