Activities during the period include a fundamental study of turbulent plasmas. Results indicate that the momentum equation for the mean flow contains extra stress terms contributed by the average double-velocity product (Reynolds stress). It was also concluded that the average (vector) product of turbulent velocity and magnetic field fluctuations (double correlation) gives rise to a macroscopic electric field that opposes the d-c electric current density. Turbulent energy equations indicate how the energy of the mean field is transferred and dissipated (J.R.D.)
