Abstract

The paper describes a method to calculate homogeneous anisotropic turbulent fields associated with a constant mean velocity gradient. The equations governing the Fourier transform of the triple velocity correlations are closed by using an extended eddy-damped quasi-normal approximation. An angular parametrization of the second-order spectral tensor is introduced in order to integrate analytically all the directional terms over a spherical shell. Numerical solutions of the model are presented for typical homogeneous anisotropic flows.
