Abstract:
An expression
that allows the determination of the Lagrangian Kolmogorov structure function constant from the knowledge of the constant
associated to the second order Eulerian
velocity structure function and the
numerical coefficient
relating the Eulerian spectra constant to the Lagrangian one, is suggested. Experimental data from both
wind tunnel and atmospheric boundary layer observation were used to determine
. The study agrees with the universal nature of the Eulerian
constant for fully
developed turbulence. The analysis leads to an estimate of
, in agreement with previous studies. This estimated value
has been employed in a Lagrangian stochastic
dispersion model to simulate the observed concentration obtained from classical
diffusion experiments.
