Abstract
Harris, Graham & Corrsin (1977) have measured the properties of the quasi-homo-geneous turbulence field induced by a large mean shear, and in analysing their measurements they neglect the diagonal components of the mean-field contribution to the pressure–strain correlation. Their measurements are re-analysed using the recommendations of Gibson & Launder (1978) for modelling this correlation, the imbalance between production and dissipation being allowed for by the algebraic modelling technique of Rodi (1976): the experimental data give strong support to Rodi's basic assumption.The data suggest that the only substantial defect in the Gibson–Launder model is its failure to predict the anisotropy measured in the 23 plane normal to the mean flow. The longitudinal predictions are good, and those for the shear (12) component are much improved when measured values of the anisotropy are substituted into the calculation. This analysis does not suggest any clear need for a nonlinear representation of the pressure–strain correlation. However, the most general linear representation of the mean-field term is even more complex than the analysis of Launder, Reece & Rodi (1975) would suggest: their model is disproved by an example.Attempts to deduce the dissipation directly from the experiments, rather than by energy balance, are not very successful.
