Averaging the small scales of a turbulent flow has the consequence to introduce new stresses, the Reynolds stresses, in the equations followed by the averaged velocity. For the closure of these equations, one has to relate these stresses to the properties of the averaged velocity field. For instance, a popular approximation for the shear stress is the so called Smagorinsky [1] one, which relates it to the transverse velocity gradient.
