// This routine evaluates q(k) (McComb, p61) by summing all wavevectors
// in a k-shell. Then we divide through by the volume of the box
// - to be accurate, by the volume of the ellipsoid enclosing the
// box (assume cells even in each direction). Finally, multiply the
// q(k) values by k^2 to give the full power spectrum E(k). Integrating
// this over the whole range gives the energy in turbulence.
