Abstract
Summary The paper discusses the influence of wire length on the characteristics of a turbulent flow as measured with a hot-wire anemometer. Most of the mathematical treatment can be directly applied to other problems of length correction, such as may occur, for instance, in problems of astrophysical turbulence, as well as to some problems related to measurements of random processes. The discussion will, however, use the example of a hot-wire anemometer with particular attention to the influence of the length of the wire on the measurement of the intensity of turbulence, correlation coefficients, and scale and microscale of turbulence.Keywords
