Abstract

The Navier—Stokes equations apply equally to turbulent or laminar flows. Their completeness for turbulence computation have yet to be fully tested, however. For the present we will assume that the equations are adequate. The computation of turbulent flows with the above equations is a difficult task since the fully unsteady nature of turbulence must be calculated even if one is interested only in the time-averaged quantities. As a result one is faced with the solution of the full equations for a range of spatial length scales. Calculations using the full equations are just beginning to be implemented on the computer and remain limited in application due to cost. In the next few years this should change, however. In the following pages some of the recent work in this area is outlined.
