  • 190 Accesses

Abstract

The state of knowledge of turbulent flows is reviewed very briefly. An argument is posed that, for the near term, the best hope for engineering simulation of turbulent flows lies in the use of phenomenological models tuned for particular flow classes. Input from experiments and higher-level simulations will aid in model construction. Finally, the state of the art in higher-level simulations is reviewed, and a number of difficulties that are impeding progress are pointed out.
