We investigate grid turbulence behind two multi-scale grids and one conventional one, with particular emphasis on the properties of the near-field turbulence. All three grids are designed to produce the same integral scale, l0, at a downstream distance of two meters (x = 2 m). We find that the turbulence is highly inhomogeneous for x 50l0. The structure of the near-field turbulence for the present grids is dependent on the type of grid used, exhibiting a number of curious properties, which is consistent with earlier studies [D. Hurst and J. C. Vassilicos, “Scalings and decay of fractal-generated turbulence,” Phys. Fluids 19, 035103 (2007)]. However, the far-field is remarkably similar for all three grids. For example, the far-field energy decay rate is virtually identical for all three grids, as was shown by Krogstad and Davidson [“Freely-decaying, homogeneous turbulence generated by multiscale grids,” J. Fluid Mech. 680, 417 (2011)]. Thi...
