Launder et al. [LAU 75] directly drew inspiration from
Rotta's original proposal to model the rapid terms
π ij , R . They
supposed that
π ij , R is approximately expressed by
=
U l
x m α l mi
π ij , R
and that the fourth-order tensor
mi is a linear function of
the Reynolds stresses u i u j . These hypotheses lead to the
closure

where it should be recalled that P K is a term for production
of kinetic energy K (see equation [2.20]). The coefficient
C
0.4 is chosen so that the model accurately reflects the
behavior of the isotropic homogeneous turbulence, subjected
to rapid distortion.

Equation [2.67] needs to be modified to take account of
the reflection of the source terms from the wall. [LAU 75]
suggest replacing equation [2.67] with
