Abstract
A procedure to construct turbulence models is outlined beginning with the simplest case, a model for weak time-dependent perturbations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence, and ending with some models for inhomogeneous turbulence. The approach combines features of Yoshizawa’s two-scale direct interaction approximation and the Hilbert expansion of kinetic theory.
