This can be derived from classical similarity hypothesis (Monin,Yaglom, 1965; Kader, Yaglom, 1980): friction velocity is a scale for the velocity fluctuations and mean velocity differences

Conclusion
1) The new inner scaling is proposed, in which the new relevant parameter – the third-order wall-normal derivative of the Reynolds shear stress at the wall is added. Proposed scaling gives the better collapse for both the mean velocity and Reynolds stresses profiles in the viscous sublayer at different Reynolds numbers and types of flow.
2) It is found that the matching condition for the mean velocity in the overlap region is equivalent to Vincze’s functional equation and has the solution in the form of power law. At finite Reynolds numbers the power law exponent is not universal and may be dependent not only of Reynolds number but of the flow type.
