7. Note that there exist a lot of measurements of fluctuations of the shear stress in turbulent flows. This is the local quantity corresponding to drag or torque. See, for instance, SREENIVASAN K. R. and ANTONIA R. A., Trans. ASMEE: J. Appl. Mech., 44 (1977) 389; LATHROP D. P., FINEBERG J. and SWINNEY H. L., Phys. Rev. A, 46 (1992) 6390.
