Notes

  1. 1.

    Close to walls, however, other factors may affect the isotropy of the normal stresses.

  2. 2.

    Integral time or length scales are determined by integration of temporal or spatial correlation functions, e.g. [51]

  3. 3.

    The cited comparison relies on the assumption of isotropy and thus does not solely assess Taylor’s hypothesis.

  4. 4.

    These opposing flows also lead to a net radial compression of fluid elements at the interface, with resulting generation of \(\left\langle {u^{\prime}}_{{\rm r}}^2 \right\rangle \) by the isotropic normal stresses [72].
