In fluid dynamics, the mixing length model is a method attempting to describe momentum transfer by turbulence Reynolds stresses within a Newtonian fluid boundary layer by means of an eddy viscosity. The model was developed by Ludwig Prandtl in the early 20th century.[1] Prandtl himself had reservations about the model,[2] describing it as, "only a rough approximation,"[3]
but it has been used in numerous fields ever since, including atmospheric science, oceanography and stellar structure.[4]
