Basics of Turbulent Flows using Ansys Fluent
The teaching package can be used to understand and learn about the significance and importance of turbulent flows. It talks about the stability of laminar flow and its transition to turbulence. . Additionally, the course explains the stability of turbulent flows, using turbulent scales, turbulent energy spectrum. The importance of time averaging the continuity, momentum and energy equations are discussed which is used to derive the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flows. The teaching package also describes the Boussinesq hypothesis and the use for deriving the k-ϵ and k-ω models for describing the turbulent flows. Finally it also illustrates turbulent boundary layer and some correlations and equations.
