The Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) yields the dynamic equations for the second-order moments (e.g., heat fluxes) needed in the equations for the mean variables (e.g., mean temperature). The RSM equations are in general time dependent and non-local. We first discuss the “buoyancy only” case and the tests of the non-local model against a variety of data. We also “plumenize” the model in order to exhibit the up-down flows that characterize convection so as to show that a non-local RSM is fully equipped to account for the “plume aspect” of buoyant flows. Next, we extend the RSM to account for stable and/or unstable stratification and shear, a formalism that is needed to describe the overshooting region contributed by differentail rotation. We conclude by discussing the equation for the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy which plays a key role in any RSM.
