MissCFD Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2014 Posts: 160 Rep Power: 11	Hello, Does anyone confirm me my comprehension ? The mixing length is analogous to the mean free path in a gas which is the progress way until the next molecular collision compared to the turbulence length that is a length scale of eddies, is that right ? Thank you
