Abstract
Free decay theory of the homogeneous and isotropic developed turbulence isconsidered in the d-dimensional case. The basic quantities under our consideration are the kinetic energy spectrum E(k,t) and energy transfer spectrum T(k,t) as functions of wave number k and decay time t. Starting point for studying E and T represents their adaptation from the stationary model which predicts the Kolmogorov spectrum which is multiplicatively dependent on an unknown scaling function F. In order to study the spectra of decaying turbulence both parameters l and eɛ are supposed to be dependent on t. Formerly derived basic integro–differential equation for F (by Adzhemyan, et al., 1998) has been here solved numerically in the dimension interval d∈(2, 3) for two cases of the Saffman invariant and the Loitsyansky integral fixing an arbitrary theor parameter α (α ⩵ 2 and 4, correspondingly). The energy transfer spectrum T(k) has been analyzed for several dimensions d≤3 showing the presence of integration regions in the wavenumber space where an inverse energy cascade can occur.
