Description:
General theoretical relationships consistent with experiments are obtained for isotropic homogeneous incompressible-fluid turbulence governed by the Navier-Stokes flow equation. A key quantity that structures the turbulence is the 'broadness' B of the probability measure over velocity fields. Both the decay law and the longitudinal correlation function for small r appear as simple functions of this quasiconstant parameter B.
