In Prandtl's mixing length theory, these eddy stress terms are parameterized in terms of the mean field variables by assuming that the eddy stress is proportional to the gradient of the mean velocity. Also since the vertical gradients of the eddy stress are much larger than the horizontal gradients, we retain only the vertical gradients.
