We investigate non-equilibrium turbulence where the non-dimensionalised dissipation coefficient Ce scales as Ce∼ReMm/Reln with m ≈ 1 ≈ n (ReM and Rel are global/inlet and local Reynolds numbers, respectively) by measuring the downstream evolution of the scale-by-scale energy transfer, dissipation, advection, production, and transport in the lee of a square-mesh grid, and compare with a region where Ce ≈ constant. These are the main terms of the inhomogeneous, anisotropic version of the von Karman-Howarth-Monin equation. It is shown in the grid-generated turbulence studied here that, even in the presence of non-negligible turbulence production and transport, production and transport are large-scale phenomena that do not contribute to the scale-by-scale balance for scales smaller than about a third of the integral-length scale, l, and therefore do not affect the energy transfer to the small-scales. In both the non-equilibrium region where Ce∼ReMm/Reln and further downstream where Ce ≈ constant, the peak of ...
