which is a representative expression showing that vertical flux of linear momentum is
directly proportional to the mean velocity gradient and where the negative sign
indicates that this flux is directed from higher to lower velocities. The K m coefficient is
the momentum diffusivity coefficient. Eq. (3.107) can be used for closure of equations
when higher order terms are equivalent to the left side of the equation. In this case, an
assumption about the equality of the turbulent diffusion coefficients can be made:
