A way from the statistical description of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence to the anisotropic probability distribution is proposed. The role of adiabatic motions in the transfer of energy of turbulent fluctuations by spectrum is discussed. We justify the proposition that for large Reynolds numbers the distribution of the energy of adiabatic fluctuations at scales of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence has the form of a Planck curve.
