Abstract

We have developed a mechanistic approach for determination of the Reynolds stress, using a Lagrangian analysis of turbulent momentum. Analysis and comparison with DNS and experimental data point toward the soundness of this approach (Lee, 2018). von Karman constant, the inner layer thickness and the Reynolds stress itself are all recovered through this approach, in agreement with DNS data. In addition, the turbulent flow profiles can be calculated iteratively using the basic Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation, in conjunction with the current transport equation for the Reynolds stress. In this work, we explore these and further uses of the current approach in solving turbulent flow dynamics.
