Analysis Techniques

Cascade Rate

Measure of the transfer of a turbulent fluctuation energy from one spatial scale to another

2-point Correlation

Measure of the temporal and spatial scale over which a spectral element is remade by nonlinear processes

Structure Functions

Statistics of two-point increments of turbulent fields to reveal scale-dependent, intermittent turbulence

Wave Telescope

Multipoint method for determining the wavevectors of plasma waves and their associated 3D power distributions

Pressure-strain Interaction (Pi-D)

Measurement of the dilation, -( P•▽)•v, describing the local conversion between flow and thermal energy

Curlometer & Gradient Methods

Multipoint methods for constructing current density/intermittent structures from spatially distributed measurements
