Turbulence - Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes Equations - Momentum Equation

Explore the derivation of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in this 20-minute video lecture on turbulence modeling. Delve into the process of expanding the velocity field into average and fluctuating components, substituting them into the Navier-Stokes equations, and time-averaging the results. Gain insights into this widely used method for modeling bulk properties of turbulent fluid flow in engineering applications. Access additional resources, including citable links and supplementary notes by Lex Smits, to enhance your understanding of this crucial topic in fluid dynamics.
