Abstract
The equations resulting from the treatment of marginal statistics are necessarily indeterminate, hence require additional information to obtain a solvable system of equations, a non-rigorous operation called closure. This holds also for the mapping equations, which are considered in the present section for homogeneous turbulence. The single scalar case is a convenient approach to introduce and explain mapping methods in elementary form [1], the velocity and multi-scalar, non-homogeneous cases are much more complex and discussed in the following section.
