Turbulent convection with overshooting - Reynolds stress approach

Abstract

The Reynolds stress formalism is adopted to treat turbulent convection. This methodology is reviewed, and it is suggested that it may prove very useful to treat stellar and accretion disk turbulent convection, as well as in the construction of the subgrid models needed in large eddy simulations. A set of differential equations that yield the mean and turbulent quantities such as convective fluxes, turbulent viscosity, and turbulent conductivity is presented.
