Abstract

A model for the second order velocity structure function tensor, based on Kolmogorov's theory and valid for the inertial range, is proposed, incorporating the effect of anisotropy as a linear perturbation to the standard isotropic form. Structure functions measured from direct numerical simulations of channel flow and from experimental measurements in turbulent boundary layers are compared with predicted behavior and reasonable agreement is found.
