Turbulence

OpenFOAM is distributed with a huge library of turbulence models as listed below.

The open architecture of OpenFOAM allows developers to add turbulence models easily that can be selected a run time by the user.

Turbulence models for incompressible fluids

kEpsilon Standard k - e  \special {t4ht= model with wall functions
RNGkEpsilon RNG k - e  \special {t4ht= model with wall functions
