The hyperbolic convective subset of a second-moment turbulence closure for the Favreaveraged compressible Navier-Stokes equations can be written as [1]where ρ stands for the mean density, U is the density weighted mean velocity vector, R the Reynolds stress tensor with components R i j = u i u j , E the mean specific total energy, and p the mean pressure which can be expressed via the ideal gas law (with γ being the ratio of specific heats), viz.,For simplicity we will restrict the following presentation to flows with statistically two space dimensions, i.e., a variable vector W = (ρ, ρU, ρV, ρ E, ρ R 11 , ρ R 22 , ρ R 33 , ρ R 12 ) t , such that we can write the system in matrix-vector notation W ,t + (F i (W)) ,i = H(W, ∇W), i = 1, 2,990
