Abstract
The flow of viscous fluids is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are non-linear. Analytical solutions exist only for some simple flows. Physical and numerical experiments are therefore indispensable tools in fluid mechanics. It is not the intention to give any kind of introduction into fluid mechanics or the theory of turbulence. Excellent treatments of these topics are found in Batchelor (1960, 1967), Monin & Yaglom (1971), Hinze (1975), Tennekes & Lumley (1992) and others. The presentation of some well known and widely used balance equations for momentum, energy and enstrophy should merely illustrate what kind of expressions one wishes to determine by velocity measurements in turbulent flows.
