A Note on Turbulence Modeling

  • Chapter
Applied Nonlinear Analysis

Abstract

The main thrust of this work is developing the basis for a mixed formulation of turbulence modeling, combining analytical theories and engineering modeling, which includes second order two-point correlations of velocity and pressure. Related issues such as the different outcomes that stem from differently chosen sets of ensemble averaging, the approximate nature and the advantages and disadvantages of such a formulation, and the choices of closure schemes are addressed.
