Abstract

Schumann's (1977) method of judging the realizability of turbulence closure models is examined. The relation between model constants obtained by this method does not always ensure the realizability of double moments. Still, this relation shows the degree of realizability. It is likely that Schumann's method is effective to determine values of unknown constants in second-order closure models.
