Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations
Reynolds Stress Tensor This is usually called the Reynolds stress tensor Reynolds stresses : total are unknown Total 4 equations and = 10 unknowns
Time averaged Infected Navier Stokes Equation For all the Three Momentum Equations, turbulent stress tensor:
Reynolds stresses Performing the Reynolds Averaging Process, new terms has arisen, namely the Reynolds-stress tensor: This brings us at the turbulent closure problem, the fact that we have more unknowns than equations. –Three velocities + pressure + six Reynolds-stresses –Three momentum equations + the continuity equation To close the problem, we need additional equations to solve infected flow.
Derivations of Reynolds-stress conservation Equations Derivation of Conservation Equations for Reynolds Stresses Introduces new unknowns (22 new unknowns)
Simplified Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations 4 equations 5 unknowns → We need one more ???
