It is found that the imbalance between the production of ⋶ due to vortex stretching and the destruction of ⋶ caused by the action of viscosity is governed by the diffusion of ⋶ by the wall-normal velocity fluctuation. This imbalance is intrinsically different from the advection-driven imbalance in decaying-type flows, such as grid turbulence, jets and wakes. In effect, the different types of imbalance represent different constraints on the relation between the skewness of the longitudinal velocity derivative S₁,₁ and the destruction coefficient G of enstrophy in different flows, thus resulting in non-universal approaches of S₁,₁ towards a constant value as the Taylor microscale Reynolds number, R_λ, increases. For example, the approach is slower for the measured values of S₁,₁ along either the channel or pipe centreline than along the axis in the self-preserving region of a round jet. The data for S₁,₁ collected in different flows strongly suggest that, in each flow, the magnitude of S₁,₁ is bounded, the value being slightly larger than 0.5.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:48 AEDT ]]>
