Exercise 4.





For the spectral energy density we have the Wiener-Khinchin formula (Frisch, 4.58),


\begin{displaymath}E(k)=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_0^\infty kx\Gamma(x)\sin (kx) dx
\end{displaymath} (1)

where


\begin{displaymath}\Gamma(x)=\langle \overline{v}(\overline{r})\cdot \overline{v...
...verline{r'})\rangle, \, x=\vert\overline{r}-\overline{r'}\vert
\end{displaymath} (2)

is the correlation function. Assume the scaling relation, $\Gamma(x) \sim x^n$ and derive a scaling relation for E(k). Eksperimentally it is foound that n=2/3.

For the advanced student:

Derive (1) from the 3 dimensional spectral energy density.
