Pressure statistics for locally isotropic turbulence

Abstract
The pressure structure function DP(r) and pressure-gradient correlation Aij(r) are related to components of the fourth-order velocity structure function Dijkl(r) on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equation, incompressibility, local homogeneity, and local isotropy. Data from a wind tunnel, as well as numerical simulation, are used to calculate DP(r) and thereby show that greater Reynolds numbers are needed to observe an inertial range in DP(r) than in Dijkl(r). A previous additional supposition relates DP(r) and Aij(r) to the single component D1111(r). This additional supposition is shown to be inaccurate for calculation of DP(r) and Aij(r).
