Longitudinal structure functions are obtained from the correlation tensor by contraction with the unit radial vector, Sn(rx,ry,rz)=Sα1,...,αn(n) (rβ)r̂α1...r̂αn-Sn(rx)=Sn(rx,0,0). As scalars, they are expanded in terms of spherical harmonics. For the general SO(3) decomposition of tensorial objects see the referenced paper; PLEEE8 1063-651X 10.1103/PhysRevE.59.6753

This form of similarity has a much wider range of application than the original one in physical separation. More generally, assuming S3rζ(3), SnS3ζrel(n).

They discharge in a uniform ambient pressure and produce a nominally linear velocity profile sufficiently downstream. There, hot wires acquire the streamwise velocity and give access to the longitudinal structure functions. 10.1063/1.1789546

The kernel GΔ is invariant under translations, vanishes rapidly, and filtering commutes with differentiation. It is expressed as the Cartesian product of one-dimensional filters gΔ(x)=1/Δg1(x/Δ), controlled by the moments Mn=ξng1(ξ)dξ. Here Mn=0 for n=1,...,5 with additional conditions on the Fourier transform ĝ1(0)=ĝ1(π)=0, dĝ1(π)/dω=0, where ω is the wave number normalized by Δ. The roll-off is such that ĝ1(3π/4)=1/2. 10.1006/jcph.1998.6060

In the variables X1=x1-U(x2)t, X2=x2, X3=x3 the fluctuations are periodic and spectral methods can be used, as proposed by Rogallo. The configuration is cyclically mapped back to the original box after a period of Lx/(SLy). 10.1063/1.1427919
