Description

Data taken measuring grid-stirred tank turbulence under a range of forcing frequencies at amplitude 5 cm. Tank is described in Wheeler et al. (2013).  Turbulence properties calculated from velocity vectors estimated from PIV analysis (an analogous PIV analysis described in Wheeler et al. 2013). Measurements were made by K. Helfrich in Summer 2009.
