Here we propose an optical method that use phase data of a laser beam obtained from Shack-Hartmann sensor to estimate both inner and outer scales of turbulence. The method is based on the sequential analysis of normalized correlation functions of Zernike coefficients. It allows excluding the value of refractive index structural constant from the analysis and reduces the solution of a two-parameter problem to sequential solution of two single-parameter problems. The method has been applied to analyze the results of measurements of the laser beam that propagated through a water cell with induced turbulence and yielded estimates for outer and inner scales.

The aim of the article is to investigate the relative dispersion properties of the Well Mixed class of Lagrangian Stochastic Models. Dimensional analysis shows that given a model in the class, its properties depend solely on a non-dimensional paramet
er, which measures the relative weight of Lagrangian-to-Eulerian scales. This parameter is formulated in terms of Kolmogorov constants, and model properties are then studied by modifying its value in a range that contains the experimental variability. Large variations are found for the quantity $g^*=2gC_0^{-1}$, where $g$ is the Richardson constant, and for the duration of the $t^3$ regime. Asymptotic analysis of model behaviour clarifies some inconsistencies in the literature and excludes the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process from being considered a reliable model for relative dispersion.
In this study, the stability dependence of turbulent Prandtl number ($Pr_t$) is quantified via a novel and simple analytical approach. Based on the variance and flux budget equations, a hybrid length scale formulation is first proposed and its functi
onal relationships to well-known length scales are established. Next, the ratios of these length scales are utilized to derive an explicit relationship between $Pr_t$ and gradient Richardson number. In addition, theoretical predictions are made for several key turbulence variables (e.g., dissipation rates, normalized fluxes). The results from our proposed approach are compared against other competing formulations as well as published datasets. Overall, the agreement between the different approaches is rather good despite their different theoretical foundations and assumptions.
Defining an objective boundary for a city is a difficult problem, which remains to be solved by an effective method. Recent years, new methods for identifying urban boundary have been developed by means of spatial search techniques (e.g. CCA). Howeve
r, the new algorithms are involved with another problem, that is, how to determine the radius of spatial search objectively. This paper proposes new approaches to looking for the most advisable spatial searching radius for determining urban boundary. The key is to find out the characteristic length of spatial search by certain functional relationships. A discovery is that the relationships between the spatial searching radius and the corresponding number of clusters take on an exponential function, in which the scale parameter just represents the characteristic length. Using the characteristic length, we can define the most objective urban boundary. Two sets of Chinese cities are employed to test this method, and the results lend support to judgment that the characteristic parameter can serve for the spatial searching radius. This study suggests a new way of determining urban boundary and determining city size in the right perspective.
For the initial fields of the density contrast and peculiar velocity, we theoretically calculate the differential and integral length scales, i.e., statistical measures that respectively characterize the small- and large-scale fluctuations of a rando
m field. These length scales and the associated mass scales explain the length and mass scales observed for (1) halos of young galaxies at z > 5, (2) halos of galaxies at z = 0, and (3) the largest structures in the galaxy distribution at z = 0. We thereby discuss that such observed scales are fossil imprints of the characteristic scales of the initial fields.
The structure of molecular clouds (MCs) holds important clues on the physical processes that lead to their formation and subsequent evolution. While it is well established that turbulence imprints a self-similar structure to the clouds, other process
es, such as gravity and stellar feedback, can break their scale-free nature. The break of self-similarity can manifest itself in the existence of characteristic scales that stand out from the underlying structure generated by turbulent motions. We investigate the structure of the Cygnus-X North and the Polaris MCs which represent two extremes in terms of their star formation activity. We characterize the structure of the clouds using the delta-variance ($Delta$-variance) spectrum. In Polaris, the structure of the cloud is self-similar over more than one order of magnitude in spatial scales. In contrast, the $Delta$-variance spectrum of Cygnus-X exhibits an excess and a plateau on physical scales of ~0.5-1.2 pc. In order to explain the observations for Cygnus-X, we use synthetic maps in which we overlay populations of discrete structures on top of a fractal Brownian motion (fBm) image. The properties of these structures such as their major axis sizes, aspect ratios, and column density contrasts are randomly drawn from parameterized distribution functions. We show that it is possible to reproduce a $Delta$-variance spectrum that resembles the one of the Cygnus-X cloud. We also use a reverse engineering approach in which we extract the compact structures in the Cygnus-X cloud and re-inject them on an fBm map. The calculated $Delta$-variance using this approach deviates from the observations and is an indication that the range of characteristic scales observed in Cygnus-X is not only due to the existence of compact sources, but is a signature of the whole population of structures, including more extended and elongated structures
