We will consider here developed turbulence submitted to a shear, both from a very simple statistical point of view (mixing-length theory) and from the coherent-vortex point of view. Concerning the latter, one will recall how to visualize vortices. We will be interested in flows such as free-shear flows (mixing layers, jets and wakes) and wall flows. Notice that coherent vortices in isotropic turbulence will be considered in three and two dimensions (Chapters 6 and 8, respectively).
