The inner scales

are not perfectly adequate for the
ν
, u
correlations
ij , which thus depend on the Reynolds number.
For example, Figure 2.23 shows the distributions of
π
33 for
different Reynolds numbers varying by a decade, from
186
π
17 , obtained by DNSs and published
in [HOY 08]. This behavior is not, in itself, surprising, as the
pressure is an integral quantity controlled both by the inner
and outer scales. We note a significant increase of
to
Re τ

Re τ
=

π 33 in the
buffer sublayer when Re
increases from 180 to 600, beyond
that limit the variations become more moderate. The
pressure/velocity correlati ons expressed in relation to the
local intensity values pp collapse relatively well at
different Reynolds numbers, as shown in Figure 2.23.

It is more instructive to express the system [2.65] in the
Fourier domain [KIM 89]. The Fourier transform of system
[2.65] in the homogeneous directions x and z enables us to
write
