Introduction to Turbulence Modeling

Shortcomings of the

  • Limited to an eddy viscosity assumption.
  • Eddy viscosity and diffusivity are assumed to be isotropic.
  • Convection and diffusion of the shear stresses are neglected.
  • Normal turbulent stresses are not considered.
  • Main assumption is: .
