The Generalized Langevin model representations of two second‐moment closure models for the rapid pressure‐strain term, proposed by Fu and Launder and by Jones and Musonge, are obtained. This representation makes it possible to use these models in PDF calculations of turbulent flows. The implications of three realizability constraints for the relationship between Langevin models and these second‐moment closures are discussed. A Generalized Langevin model representation exists only if the rapid pressure‐strain model satisfies realizability at the 2D turbulence limit.
