dc.descriptionDecaying turbulence is studied numerically using as initial condition a random flow whose shell-integrated energy spectrum increases with wavenumber k like k^q. Alternatively, initial conditions are generated from a driven turbulence simulation by simply stopping the driving. It is known that the dependence of the decaying energy spectrum on wavenumber, time, and viscosity can be collapsed onto a unique scaling function that depends only on two parameters. This is confirmed using three-dimensional simulations and the dependence of the scaling function on its two arguments is determined.
