Abstract: Fully developed turbulent flow indeed consists of a hierarchy of eddies or scales of various disorders. Due to the complexity of turbulence, the turbulent flow structure has not been completely understood. Thus, abundant empirical observations have been made about fractality in hydrodynamic turbulence. In this study, the fractal scaling of velocity components (u′,v′) and Reynolds shear stress (u′v′) for fully developed flow in an open channel were studied for Reynolds number in the range of 29,000–85,000.
