Abstract
The validity of the Kolmogorov refined similarity hypothesis (RSH) is tested experimentally in the mixing layer and in the return channel of a large wind tunnel, at R(lambda)approximate to 2.0x10(3) and 3.2x10( 3), respectively. The energy dissipation rate is estimated from the lo ngitudinal gradient of both the longitudinal du/dx and transverse dw/d x Velocity components, and the results are in good agreement with RSH in both cases.
