✦ Synopsis

In this note we show that the setting up of the ''principle of material frame-indifference in the limit of two-dimensional turbulence'' by Speziale in the 1980s, which has been applied to turbulence modelling for the past two decades as seen from the literature, is unsound-in fact, there is an inconsistency in dealing with the fluctuating pressure which leads to contradicting the physical facts of turbulence. We conclude that this so-called ''principle of material frame-indifference in the limit of two-dimensional turbulence'' for turbulence modelling should be discarded.
