Abstract
In the preceding chapter, we demonstrated how the elements of the TCAT approach, as depicted in Fig. 5.1, are used to obtain a closed set of microscale equations. The procedure for the development of macroscale equations is similar. However, an additional step is required to transform the microscale relations to the macroscale prior to applying the closure procedure.
