Introduction to CFX -Turbulence

Unsteady, irregular (non-periodic) motion in which transported quantities (mass, momentum, scalar species) fluctuate in time and space
Identifiable swirling patterns characterize turbulent eddies
Enhanced mixing (matter, momentum, energy, etc.) results
Fluid properties and velocity exhibit random variations
Statistical averaging results in accountable, turbulence related transport mechanisms
This characteristic allows for turbulence modeling
Contains a wide range of turbulent eddy sizes (scales spectrum)
The size/velocity of large eddies is on the order of the mean flow
Large eddies derive energy from the mean flow
Energy is transferred from larger eddies to smaller eddies

In the smallest eddies, turbulent energy is converted to internal energy by viscous dissipation

Flows can be characterized by the Reynolds Number, Re
