Kármán–Howarth equation
ID: karman-howarth-equation
The Kármán–Howarth equation is a fundamental relation in fluid dynamics, particularly in the study of turbulence. It describes the evolution of the second-order velocity correlation function in an incompressible flow. The equation provides insight into the relationships between different scales of motion in turbulent flows. In turbulent fluid mechanics, the velocity field can be characterized using correlation functions, which measure the statistical relationships between the velocities at different points in space.
