ABSTRACT

Canuto and Dubovikov 1999

Canuto, V.M., and M.S. Dubovikov, 1999: A dynamical model for turbulence. VII. Complete system of five orthogonal tensors for shear-driven flows. Phys. Fluids, 11, 659-664, doi:10.1063/1.869937.

The one-point Reynolds stresses have been traditionally expressed in terms of ten tensors. It is, however, known that the independent tensors are only five. We construct a complete set of five orthogonal, traceless, and symmetric second rank tensors in terms of mean strain and vorticity. The system is used to express the one-point Reynolds stresses. The coefficients of the expansion are evaluated in papers VIII and IX.
