First sentence: The use of Reynolds-averaged equations, made necessary by our inability to solve the time-dependent, three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with adequate resolution of time and spatial scales, see [1], implies that information has been lost and that further approximations are required to represent the fluctuating quantities known as Reynolds stresses and so reduce the number of unknowns to equal the number of equations.
