Testing Reynolds stress model in solar interior

The Reynolds stress model (RSM) for turbulent convection motion is compared to the MLT in solar model. The free parameters involved in the RSM are also tested with the aid of helioseismology. It is found that, the structure of solar convection zone is differ from the MLT when using the RSM, especially for the Reynolds correlations and the temperature gradient. Both the local and non-local RSM can improve the calculated solar p-mode oscillation frequencies with the appropriate choice of the parameters' value.
