Abstract
Much more work has been done on the problem of turbulent transfer of momentum in a shear flow than on the problem of turbulent heat transfer. One of the reasons is obviously the fact, that from an experimental point of view informations about velocity-velocity correlations are easier to obtain compared with temperature-velocity correlations. The work presented here is a theoretical contribution to the second problem. Specially the influence of the molecular Prandtl number on the turbulent Prandtl number is discussed; this question is particularly interesting for turbulent heat transfer problems in liquid metals.
