Demonstration that our stirring algorithm produces roughly the same spectrum for three different levels of driving and that the spectrum roughly follows a p = −5/3 power law over the inertial range. ﹩| {\boldsymbol{k}}| ﹩ is given in code units (1/H). The power plotted here is normalized such that the mean is 1 for each of the three spectra shown. The power is also compensated with a k ∝ −5/3 dependence, such that a −5/3 power law would appear perfectly horizontal on this plot. Time averages are taken from 10Ω−1 to 50Ω−1.
