ABSTRACT

Canuto and Goldman 1985

Canuto, V.M., and I. Goldman, 1985: Analytical model for large-scale turbulence. Phys. Rev. Lett., 54, 430-433, doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.54.430.

We present an analytical model for large-scale turbulence, based on a new closure which depends on the growth rate of the instability-generating turbulence. For convection in stars we recover the results of the mixing-length theory and for laboratory convection we recover the N ~ R1/3 law. The present model can readily be extended to include magnetic fields and rotation.
