Abstract
It is postulated that the turbulent velocity can be expressed as the product of a mean eddy rate of strain and a turbulent displacement vector. Conservation equations for the turbulent displacement variance are derived along with nine turbulent moment of momentum equations which determine the eddy rate of strain. The Reynolds flux of a scalar is also investigated. A geometric interpretation of the Reynolds stress and turbulent kinetic energy in terms of the displacement vector is obtained.Keywords
