General Concept
An explicit nonlinear constitutive relation for the Reynolds stresses represents an explicitly-postulated expansion over the linear Boussinesq hypothesis.
One of such explicit and nonlinear expansion over the Boussinesq hypothesis, as proposed by [Wallin & Johansson (2000)], is given by
Note that the terms in the first line are exactly the linear relation as expressed by the Boussinesq hypothesis.
