Abstract

This paper suggests a simple way of including gravitational effects in the pres-sure-containing correlations that appear in the equations for the transport of Reynolds stress and heat flux. The predicted changes in structure due to the gravitational field are shown to agree closely with Webster's (1964) measurements in a stably stratified shear flow.
