Hi guys,
I have one dimensional velocity component stored in a matrix over time. (The different rows represent velocity over different time.)

If I want to plot the turbulent energy spectra from here in Matlab, how do I go about it?

Have you tried the psd functions in MATLAB. I guess there is also a p.welsh command that you can use.

Aroon,

Thanks for your reply..

I have been trying to first use fft to change the velocity into wavenumber space. Once I have done this, am trying to apply the pwelch function, but I seem to be getting a garbage plot.Nothing that looks like -5/3, but more like random noise.
