Abstract
It is suggested that, in an inhomogeneous turbulent flow, the flux of a passive scalar admixture should be modeled to first order by a linear combination of gradient transport and convective transport, where the convective transport coefficient is proportional to the gradient of the (gradient) ‐transport coefficient. A simple model is presented which allows determination of the coefficient of proportionality.Keywords
