The mean of the instantaneous continuity condition
Yields continuity condition for the mean flow,

(7.7) |
Which in turn, together with Reynolds' decomposition yields

(7.8) |
An equation of motion for the mean velocity is obtained by averaging the NS equation. The major step in the derivation is
|
|
|
(7.9) |
The complete equation therefore is
|
(7.10) |
Which is known as Reynold's Averaged N-S Equation. This equation may be rewritten as
|
(7.11) |
or

~ 10-3Re (considering intensity ) |

If Re ~ 105 , the RTV is 100
or k (turbulent kinetic energy) =
Turbulent stresses are invariant under arbitrary rotation and reflection of the coordinate axis
