Turbulence modeling and eddy viscosity: in modelling the turbulence Reynolds stresses, the Boussinesq approximation results in the use of an eddy viscosity concept
Joseph Valentin Boussinesq, mathematician and physicist, faculty member from 1872 to 1886, known for Boussinesq approximation in continuum mechanics
