dc.description.abstract	Only the linear viscous fluid is considered herein along with the Reynolds decomposition. A uniqueness theorem is presented for the mean motion equations which shows that the Reynolds tensor is not uniquely defined. The mean pressure field is also not unique. Some implications of this non–uniqueness for the construction of turbulence models are discussed. In particular, the non–uniqueness allows a gauge field to be introduced. One such field is Beltrami.	en_US
