Abstract

The paper describes the need for turbulence modelling in industrial flow simulations. It will describe the general problem in the simulation of turbulent flows and the required averaging procedures to arrive at a manageable equation system. The principal concepts behind turbulence models will be described and some current model formulations will be described briefly. Simulations will be shown for generic testcases and industrial applications.
