Turbulence Modelling and Closure

A deep dive into how turbulent flows are modelled in computational fluid dynamics — covering Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), the turbulence closure problem, two-equation models like k-ε and k-ω SST, Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), and hybrid RANS/LES methods. Written for engineers who want to understand the assumptions behind the models they use.
