In this presentation, the theoretical background of marine turbulence is given, from the phenomenology of turbulence via Reynolds averaging and Reynolds decomposition to the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). Basic concepts such as turbulence spectra, turbulent fluxes and turbulent mixing are presented as well as ways to observe turbulence in the ocean. The modelling focus will be on second-moment closure modelling, leading to the formulation of stability functions as algebraic closures.
