:1. Introduction
2. Averaged Conservation Equations
- Conservation of mass:
- Conservation of momentum:
- Conservation of energy:
3. Diffusion Representations of Turbulent Fluxes
- -
- The formulation of a Langevin equation for fluid particle velocity is in accordance with the property that autocorrelations of particle accelerations are vanishingly short compared to those of velocities in the limit of a large Reynolds number [19].
- -
- Kolmogorov’s similarity theory holds for the small viscous scales of turbulence [19]; it is an inertial subrange representation that specifies the white noise term in the Langevin equation.
- -
- -
- -
- The well-mixing principle of Lagrangian and Eulerian velocities [22] enables to specify the second term in the expansion of the diffusion result.
- -
- Momentum flux
- Temperature flux (and flux of any conservative scalar)
