Extract

In close analogy with part 1, the dynamics of stochastic correlations is used to reformulate the preceding treatment of turbulent equations. The result is an exact and closed equation for an average function, involving only asymptotic stochastic correlations, and no initial fluctuation. This stochastic kinetic equation is valid for all initial conditions, and the corresponding function is a significant particular projection on an independent subspace R(t).
