Abstract
A self-consistent closure theory is developed for inhomogeneous turbulent flow, which enables systematic derivations of the turbulence constitutive relations without relying on any empirical parameters. The double Lagrangian approach based on the mean and fluctuation velocities allows us to describe a wide variety of correlations in a consistent manner with both Kolmogorov's inertial-range scaling and general-covariance principle.
