The probability distribution of density in isothermal, supersonic, turbulent gas is approximately lognormal. This behaviour can be traced back to the shock waves travelling through the medium, which randomly adjust the density by a random factor of the local sonic Mach number squared. Provided a certain parcel of gas experiences a large number of shocks, due to the central limit theorem, the resulting distribution for density is lognormal. We explore a model in which parcels of gas undergo finite number of shocks before relaxing to the ambient density, causing the distribution for density to deviate from a lognormal. We confront this model with numerical simulations with various rms Mach numbers ranging from subsonic as low as 0.1 to supersonic at 25. We find that the fits to the finite formula are an order of magnitude better than a lognormal. The model naturally extends even to subsonic flows, where no shocks exist.
