Homogeneous turbulence in which (V2)=(~)"t.(U2) was produced experimentally, where (u2), (1P), and
(w2 ) are the mean-square turbulent velocities in x, y, and z direction, respectively. The decay of turbulence
and the energy transfer between (u2 ) and 1P)+(~ were measured, and it was found that the larger components v') and (w2 are losing more energy due to viscosity than by transfer to the smaller component
u2 . However, (u2 ) is receiving enough energy by transfer to compensate for its decay and is in fact
slowly increasing. The measurement of mean-square vorticity components shows that the turbulence is
becoming locally isotropic at a faster rate than the equipartition of energy is taking place.
In another set of experiments it was found that when approximately isotropic turbulence is subjected to deformation, the three components of turbulent energy become widely different in magnitude and that the turbulence is not locally isotropic. This indicates that even at high Reynolds number the deformation in a shear
flow may cause anisotropy. The data on the turbulent shear flow near a solid wall confirm this conjecture.
The connection of this investigation to turbulent flows in general is discussed. In particular, it follows
that neither the turbulent energy nor the small-scale structure of turbulence rapidly settles down statistically
to quasi-equilibrium.

center of the channel. But in a shear flow the region
of high rate of deformation is of prime importance,
since it is here that maximum production and dissipation of energy is taking place. Recently Sandborn and
Braunll also concluded that there is no evidence for
local isotropy in the turbulent boundary layer.
The rate of deformation due to mean motion increases
the vorticity in a preferred direction while the deformation due to turbulence increases the vorticity more or
less equally in all directions. The degree of anisotropy
produced is determined by the ratio
