- Description
- In this paper, we test the local isotropy of higher order statistics in the intermediate wake region. We focus on normalized odd moments of the transverse velocity derivatives, M2n+1(𝜕u∕𝜕z)=(𝜕u∕𝜕z)²ⁿ⁺¹∕(𝜕u∕𝜕z)2(2n+1)∕2 on the wake centreline, which should be zero if local isotropy is satisfied (n is a positive integer). It is found that the relation M2n+1(𝜕u∕𝜕z) ∼ RM 𝜆̅¹ is supported reasonably well by hot-wire data up to the seventh-order (n = 3), although it is also dependent on the initial conditions. In particular, the present data show that the higher the order (e.g. fifth- or seventh-order), the higher R𝜆 must be for local isotropy to be satisfied (i.e. M2n+1(𝜕u∕𝜕z) = 0).
