Tangential stress (force per unit area of surface) responsible for the transfer of momentum in a turbulent fluid. 5, record 1, English, - Reynolds%20stress
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In turbulent flow the particles move both horizontally and vertically and there is a continuous "mixing of particles". Some move upwards and some downwards according to a stochastic process. ... In turbulent flow the particles move irregularly causing continuous exchange of momentum (remember: momentum is mass multiplied by velocity) from one portion of fluid to another and this momentum exchange is the reason for the turbulent shear stress, which is also called the Reynolds stress. 6, record 1, English, - Reynolds%20stress
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It [tangential stress] is equal, in a given plane, to the time average of the fluid density at a point multiplied by the product of two corresponding components of the eddy velocity. 5, record 1, English, - Reynolds%20stress
