Exact equations are given that relate velocity structure functions of arbitrary order with other statistics. 'Exact' means that no approximations are used except that the Navier-Stokes equation and incompressibility condition are assumed to be accurate. The exact equations are used to determine the structure function equations of all orders for locally homogeneous but anisotropic turbulence as well as for the locally isotropic case. The uses of these equations for investigating the approach to local homogeneity as well as to local isotropy and the balance of the equations and identification of scaling ranges are discussed. The implications for scaling exponents and investigation of intermittency are briefly discussed.
