Abstract
With the investigation of turbulence using a shadow instrument with photoelectric recording, the statistical characteristics of the signal taken off from the instrument are used to obtain information on the statistics of the investigated medium [1, 2]. In situations where the investigated medium is moving perpendicular to the instrument axis (for example, with experiments in hydro- and aerodynamic tubes), it is convenient to use the transient characteristics of the signal. In the present article an investigation is made of the connection of the transient correlation function and the frequency spectrum of a shadow-instrument signal with the energy spectrum of the optical inhomogeneities in the medium; a method is given for reconstructing the spectrum of the inhomogeneities from the correlation function or the transient spectrum of the signal.
