Abstract
It is always difficult to speak about turbulence theory because, at the present time, there exists no general theory describing the different features of this phenomenon from its birth to its final fully-developed stage. Although, over the years, considerable advances have been achieved in our knowledge of both basic aspects of turbulent motion, at the moment fully-developed turbulence remains, by far, the best understood. All the papers for this chapter are concerned with this latter physical situation.
