Hello,

I have a hot-wire measurement record in the boundary layer in the wind tunnel. There should be fully developed turbulent boundary layer in the wind tunnel flow. I used Matlab to calculate the integral lentgh scale a then the non dimensional spectra. In the pictrure, I used the pspectrum function (red), Welch (cyan), Fast-Fourier transform (blue) to calculate the spectral densities. Then I added the von Karman spectrum (green), but the slope of its right part is not the same as the others. I added also the Kolmogorov inertial scale f^(-5/3) and its slope corresponds with the calculated spectrums. Do you have any ideas why the von Karman spectrum is tilted and the Kolmogorov scale is not? I am running out of ideas, thanks for help.
