On general-purpose turbulence models in CFD

摘要

The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for various flow problems have become widespread nowadays, yet their use still needs attention and care. In particular, turbulence models are often a crucial part of flow computations undertaken with various software packages, either commercial, open-source or in-house. In the paper, an overview of available model categories is provided, together with some discussion of their advantages or drawbacks with respect to flow cases of interest.
