  At numerical resolutions around $512^3$ and above, three-dimensional energy
spectra from turbulence simulations begin to show noticeably shallower spectra
than $k^{-5/3}$ near the dissipation wavenumber (`bottleneck effect'). This
effect is shown to be significantly weaker in one-dimensional spectra such as
those obtained in wind tunnel turbulence. The difference can be understood in
terms of the transformation between one-dimensional and three-dimensional
energy spectra under the assumption that the turbulent velocity field is
isotropic. Transversal and longitudinal energy spectra are similar and can both
accurately be computed from the full three-dimensional spectra. Second-order
structure functions are less susceptible to the bottleneck effect and may be
better suited for inferring the scaling exponent from numerical simulation
data.
