| Abstract: | In this paper we present the results of calculations of the space correlations of the random pressure field which acts on the surface of a flat plate out of a fully developed turbulent boundary layer. Calculations are performed on the basis of available experimental data on the cross-spectral density of the turbulent pressure fluctuations. It is found that the spacetime correlations have an explicitly expressed form similarity. This is used as a basis for deriving a simple approximate relation between the modulus of the normalized cross-spectral density, the energy spectrum, and the maxima of the space-time correlation coefficient. The results of elementary calculations performed on the basis of the obtained relation are shown to be almost identical with those obtained on a digital computer from exact formulas.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 116–120, May–June, 1969.The author is indebted to Yu.
