Nonlocal closure
A method of approximating unknown turbulence quantities, such as covariances, by sums or integrals (over the whole domain of turbulence) of known quantities. This mimics the effects of a spectrum of eddy sizes causing mixing from various distances. Examples are transilient turbulence theory and spectral diffusivity theory. See nonlocal flux, nonlocal mixing.
