• the second term is negligible at high turbulence Reynolds numbers, and in this case only the first term in fact represents the true dissipation rate.

 • In the Reynolds stress transport equations, closure hypotheses are necessary forthe following

• In the Reynolds stress transport equations, closure hypotheses are necessary forthe following terms: viscous dissipation (f), redistribution of energy by pressure strain correlations (c), turbulent diffusion (d) + (e). In the present chapter, we shall consider only fully developed turbulence at high Reynolds numbers Ret.

 • The source and sink terms can be modeled with reference to homogenous

• The source and sink terms can be modeled with reference to homogenous turbulence. The other terms appear only in nonhomogenous flows and in particular in wall flows. They are mainly turbulent diffusion terms and a part of the pressurestrain correlations and they will be considered separately.

Modelling viscous dissipation • Viscous dissipation occurs at the level of small eddies, in

Modelling viscous dissipation • Viscous dissipation occurs at the level of small eddies, in the spectral zone of large wavenumbers in which turbulence is classically assumed to approach isotropy. • If the Reynolds number is sufficiently high for the dissipation zone to be clearly separated from the production zone, the viscous dissipation process can be assumed to be isotropic. This is modeled using a second order isotropic tensor through the hypothesis:

If the term (a) is neglected, then we recover approximation [6. 6]. Coefficient cs

If the term (a) is neglected, then we recover approximation [6. 6]. Coefficient cs in [6. 6] is determined by referring to experimental data relative to various turbulent flows, the value c s = 0. 11 is obtained in Launder B. E. , Reece G. J. , Rodi W.
