To describe the far turbulent wake flow behind a towed body in a linearly stratified medium we use an hierarchy of semi-empirical turbulent models. The most complex model comprises differential equations for transport of normal Reynolds stresses. We give computational results demonstrating far turbulent wake dynamics both in a passively and actively stratified medium as compared to far momentumless turbulent wake dynamics. We numerically simulate the anisotropic decay of turbulence in a far wake behind a towed body. We give computational results of turbulent wake characteristics for large decay periods.
