An Introduction to Turbulence Modelling

  • Chapter
Transition, Turbulence and Combustion Modelling

Part of the book series: ERCOFTAC Series ((ERCO,volume 6))

Abstract

The main aim of the present chapter is to introduce engineering turbulence modelling emphasizing the underlying physics and methodology of development of this type of turbulence models. A complete state-of-the-art review is not attempted, but rather to give a basic understanding of turbulence closures and a tutorial into the foundations of basic enginering turbulence modelling. We will will focus on models for incompressible flows, but also introduce some basic concepts and equations for compressible turbulence.
