Abstract

The spatial resolution requirements for accurate two-point correlation measurements at small separations are investigated. Practical guidelines in terms of characteristic measuring volume sizes and estimated Kolmogorov length scales are given. Sample measurements of two-point one-component longitudinal correlations on the centerline of a turbulent jet are presented.
