Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4831–4834 (1999)Decay of Grid Turbulence in a Finite ChannelReceived 3 September 1998; published in the issue dated 14 June 1999 We develop a classical model for the decay of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence that takes into account the growth of the energy containing length scale and its saturation when it reaches the size of the containing vessel. The model describes our data on the decay of grid turbulence in helium II through 4 orders of magnitude in vorticity, as well as classical experiments on decaying turbulence. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
