A layer closest to the wall can be autonomously turbulent even if no momentum interaction with outside is allowed, if the layer is thicker than around 5O-～60 in wall unit. This turbulent layer has universal property. However, this layer has to receive energy from outside in order to sustain itself as turbulent regime. The energy balance of the universal layer is governed by coherent vortices of group of quasi-streamwise vortices.
