STRUCTURAL, CORRELATION, AND SPECTRAL FUNCTIONS OF INTERSTELLAR GAS TURBULENCE,

Abstract

Structural, correlation, and spectral functions of interstellar medium turbulence are calculated on the basis of Adams' catalog of radial velocities of interstellar gas clouds. Results of these calculations show that motion of interstellar medium is described fully satisfactorily by the theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence. Structural, correlation, and spectral functions are shown. Discussion is given of the possibility of describing turbulence of the interstellar medium with the help of the contemporary theory of turbulence. (Author)
