Abstract
The changes in turbulence in a flow over a two-dimensional curved hill, described in Part 1 (Baskaran, Smits & Joubert 1987), are analysed in the light of transport equations for the turbulent kinetic energy, . The transport terms are found to be affected by streamline curvature. To the thin shear layer approximation, the interaction between streamline curvature and streamwise pressure gradient appears to be weak.
