Abstract: | The paper reports on a class of models for a turbulent boundary layer which are based on the turbulent energy balance equation and closure and use hypothesis of the type of Karman relations for turbulent mixing paths or complementary transport equations. It is shown that in the absence of a velocity shear near the kinetic turbulent energy flux all the models are encompassed by a unique hypothesis and satisfy with depth a linear dependence of the mixing path.Translated by Vladimir A.
