Most current computations of trubulent flows with second-moment closure adopt the diffusion mo- dels which neglect the effect of pressure-velocity correlation.ln the present paper the importance of this correlation effect is elucidated the neglect of this effect accounts for some major defects in the wide application of the se- cond-moment closures.Through the relation between and ,established by Lumley,we propose here a new turbulence diffusion model which takes into consideration the pressure effect.Applications of this new model in the computation of shearless turbulence mixing layer and plane-and round-jet flows show that the spreading rate of these flows can be satisfactorily captured.
