review text: An algebraic turbulent eddy viscosity model is proposed based on a length scale model coupled with the turbulent viscosity expression of the renormalization group theory of turbulence. The eddy viscosity is presented as a solution of a quartic equation. The new length scale model is based on boundary layer characteristics (displacement thickness, shape factor). The model is applied to transitional boundary layer flow over a flat plate and to flow in a smooth pipe.
