A Short Review on RANS Turbulence Models

Article history: Received 23 September 2020 Received in revised form 21 November 2020 Accepted 25 November 2020 Available online 30 November 2020 Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) are such model equations and are used to simulate numerous fluid flow problem. This article focuses on the most well-known of RANS turbulence modelling and its application to industrial flows. Among all the RANS models, low Reynold number (LRN) k   turbulence model is more accurate that the standard k   turbulence model. This paper intends to provide a brief review of researches on RANS turbulence modelling for the fundamental understanding in solving fluid flow problem and identifies opportunities for future research.
