Abstract
A description of the energy balance in the wall region of turbulent flow is of importance both in understanding the physical process of turbulent motion and in developing useful closure models. In the present note it is shown that the presence of a very small viscous wall layer is in contradiction with the energy balance calculated by Townsend if it assumed that channel and pipe flows have a similar energy balance in this region.
