We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Fluid Flow Turbulence Modeling in Discovery

      A vast majority of industrial flows are turbulent. While conditions at boundaries may be steady, shear action near walls and other velocity profiles lead to time-dependent pressure and velocity fluctuations transported by and affecting the mean path of the fluid. These “turbulent” fluctuations span a wide range of length and timescales. As a result, computational demands for exact solutions of industrial turbulent flows far exceed available computing resources.

      In Discovery, the k-omega SST turbulence model is appropriate for most cases and is the default for both time-dependent and steady-state simulations. Additional turbulence models are available and can be modified based on your simulation requirements. Refer the attached document to learn more about them.
