In the study of turbulent flows similarity arguments are used to explore the consequences of non-mechanistic assertions concerning the general behavior of the flow. For example, it is currently assumed that viscosity plays no role in the determination of the mean velocity profile of turbulent shearing flow far from a boundary. The consequences of this assumption are that the amplitude of the mean velocity will be determined by the momentum transported into such a region and that the velocity profile will be a solution to Euler's equations.
