The Lamb vector is known to be of profound importance for fluid dynamics generally and for the dynamics of turbulence in particular. Based on the new developments of the statistical theory of isotropic turbulence, some new analytical indications are found that the Lamb vector has a contribution in the potential and solenoidal parts, which are almost equal for some typical parameters.
