| Abstract: | An experimental investigation of turbulent diffusion in a towing channel is described. Measurements of consecutive displacements of tracer particles suspended within grid-produced fields of homogeneous turbulence were corrected for decay and used to compute Lagrangian autocorrelation functions. Results in the form of correlograms and a number of turbulence characteristics obtained under conditions of three different initial turbulence intensities (i.e., three grid Reynolds numbers) in fluid stratifications ranging from weak instability to strong stability are compared. |
