In my note (Kolmogorov 1941a) I defined the notion of local isotropy and introduced the quantities Bdd(r)=[ud(M′)−ud(M)]2,¯[un(M′)−un(M)¯]2, where r denotes the distance between the points M and M', ud(M) and ud(M') are the velocity components in the direction MM'¯¯ at the points Mand M', and un(M) and un(M') are the velocity components at the points M andM' in some direction, perpendicular to MM'.

Scale-invariance and the inertial-range spectrum in three-dimensional stationary, isotropic turbulence
The assumption of scale-invariance, when taken in conjunction with the symmetries of the Navier–Stokes equation, is shown to lead to the energy spectrum E(k) = αε2/3Tk−5/3, in the limit of infinite

In Sect. 9.1, the turbulent shear stress will be determined for wake flows behind a cylinder (in the downstream or x1-direction and its perpendicular, x2-direction), by employing a momentum

In his first 1941 paper Kolmogorov assumed that the velocity has increments that are homogeneous and independent of the velocity at a suitable reference point. This assumption of local homogeneity is

The random sweeping decorrelation hypothesis was analysed theoretically and experimentally in terms of the higher-order velocity structure functions \$D_{u_i}^{(m)}(r) = \left< [u_i^m(x + r) -

It is shown that, if a reasonable definition of the effective step size of the process is applied, this result holds independently of the nesting structure, and the stochastic process of the velocity u as a function of the spatial position x is analyzed.
Local 4/5-law and energy dissipation anomaly in turbulence
A strong local form of the `4/3-law' in turbulent flow has been proved recently by Duchon and Robert for a triple moment of velocity increments averaged over both a bounded spacetime region and

It is found that the moment of the dissipation of kinetic energy of order n is completely determined by 〈(∂u(1)/∂x(1))(2n)〉 and an order- (and viscosity-) dependent coefficient for all n under the assumption of (local) isotropy.
