The true problem of turbulence dynamics is the problem of its origin(s) and successive development from some initial conditions and at some boundary conditions to an ultimate (statistical) state1. However, since this route is extremely complicated and involved, a second approach is used quite frequently. Namely, turbulent flows are studied ‘as they are’ disregarding their origin2, and without looking into some of the details of the mechanisms of turbulence production and sustainment. In both approaches, at least some aspects of the time evolution are of central importance, since turbulence dynamics is a process.
