Turbulence Models and Their Application to Complex Flows Characteristics of turbulent flow • Irregularity (Random and chaotic nature of flow) • Increased exchange of momentum (Diffusivity - spreading rate of jets, boundary layers etc.) • Large Reynolds numbers • Dissipation of kinetic energy to internal energy • Wide range of time and length scales • Almost all practical flows are turbulent. Scales of turbulence • Turbulent flows are characterized by a wide range of length scales • Think of turbulent flow as a collection of eddies of different sizes •
