TLDR
In this paper, a hierarchy of coupled equations for multipoint turbulent velocity distribution functions is derived, which resemble the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon equations of kinetic gas theory.
Abstract
A hierarchy of coupled equations for multipoint turbulent velocity distribution functions is derived. These equations resemble the Bogoliubov‐Born‐Green‐Kirkwood‐Yvon equations of kinetic gas theory. The properties of the distribution functions and the equations are discussed and compared with kinetic theory.

Progress in probability density function methods for turbulent reacting flows

TL;DR: Probability density function (PDF) methods have been widely used for modeling chemically reacting turbulent flows as discussed by the authors, where one models and solves an equation that governs the evolution of the one-point, one-time PDF for a set of variables that determines the local thermochemical and/or hydrodynamic state of a reacting system.

Filtered density function for large eddy simulation of turbulent reacting flows

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the unresolved scalar fluctuations are taken into account by considering the probability density function (PDF) of subgrid scale (SGS) scalar quantities, and a transport equation is derived for the FDF in which the effect of chemical reactions appears in a closed form.

The theory of homogeneous turbulence

TL;DR: In this article, the kinematics of the field of homogeneous turbulence and the universal equilibrium theory of decay of the energy-containing eddies are discussed. But the authors focus on the dynamics of decay and not on the probability distribution of u(x).
