Thus, a non-zero value of the gradient of the Reynolds stress (of fluctuating flow components) can drive a laminar flow. Obviously, <math>\tilde{u}_x</math> and <math>\tilde{u}_y</math> must be ''correlated'' for this to work, which will depend on the details of the (equations describing the) turbulence. | |||
