Taylor: Statistical Theory of Turbulence I

What changed

Developed statistical correlations and length/time scales for homogeneous turbulent motion in Part I.

Scientific scope

The record is Part I of Taylor's 1935 series and its homogeneous-turbulence assumptions. It does not absorb Parts II through IV, all later isotropic-turbulence theory or later closure and computational models.
