These eddies tend to be somewhat organized, and their shape and size reflect the physical boundaries and other characteristics of the flow. The large eddies break down into smaller eddies through flow interactions and they eventually reach a size at which they tend to be isotropic – they do not have a preferred orientation and appear similar from all points of view. For isotropic turbulence, the irreversible rate of dissipation of the turbulence kinetic energy through viscous friction, ϵ, is related to the variance of any component of the (rate of) strain or the (rate of) shear, by<br>
