For the turbulent transport is a kind of irreversible process in thermodynamics, the nonlinear thermodynamics was applied for studying its characteristics. The turbulent transport coefficients are Taylor series of gradient of averaged variables, when the thermodynamic flows are expanded in Taylor series of the thermodynamic forces in the neighborhood of reference state of the equilibrium state. And the linear term of the turbulent transport coefficient corresponds with the turbulent transport coefficient of K closure in Reynolds turbulence closure scheme, and the nonlinear term of the turbulent transport coefficient is the nonlinear effect caused by the departure of system from its thermodynamic equilibrium state. The linear term of the turbulent transport coefficient is positive definite and the turbulent transport makes the system homogenous. When the system is in the nonlinear region far from its thermodynamic equilibrium state, the nonlinear term may become negative and huge enough to make the turbulent transport coefficient negative, this is called as negative gradient turbulent transport. The thermodynamic characteristics of turbulent transport coefficient can provide a thermodynamic closure scheme for the turbulent flow. Based on the minimum entropy production theorem, a recursive relation among the coefficients of Taylor series will be obtained. Utilizing this recursive relation, we can reduce greatly the number of Taylor series coefficients that need to be observed by experiment for determining the Taylor series.
