We present both the methodology and specific closure proposals for modeling the turbulent Reynolds stresses. Particular attention is given to second-moment closure in which evolution equations are solved for the Reynolds stresses themselves. While the capabilities of `the basic model', used in current CFD software, are only briefly reviewed, most attention is given to a new nonlinear closure based rigorously on realizability constraints. This scheme permits many types of near wall flows to be handled without `wall-reflection' corrections. Also presented is a new nonlinear eddy viscosity model that links the turbulent stresses explicitly to strain and vorticity tensors up to third order. This leads to a scheme with a better sensitivity to secondary strains that is possible at the quadratic level. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0865.00060].
