ABSTRACT

Even though modeling turbulent flows merely involves numerically solving the N-S equations, it is a rather challenging task and numerous scientists and engineers have been confronting it for the past 100 years or so. The persistence is not at all surprising given the immense importance of turbulence in a multitude of scientific fields. Currently, turbulence modeling activities in both academia and the industry are expanding at an incredible rate. The ongoing exponential growth in the (highperformance) computing capacity is at the root of this expansion, without any doubt.
