Viscous Fluxes

In laminar flow, the stress tensor is given by:

(67)

In turbulent flow, the complete stress tensor is given by:

(68)

where the turbulent stress tensor is also known as the Reynolds stress tensor. Unless a Reynolds stress transport model is being used, the Boussinesq approximation is invoked such that:

(69)

where the effective viscosity is , the sum of the laminar and turbulent viscosities.
