Turbulence and its modelling (in plain english!) (CFD Tutorial)

A explanation about why turbulence is important and the approach taken to model it. This tutorial is intended to give you a basic intuition about turbulence modelling that you can take with you as you begin to learn more about this topic. You can find more detailed explanations in my thesis here: MacChesney, Z. S. (2021). Heavy Vehicle Aerodynamics: Massively-Separated Turbulent Flow & a Bio-Inspired Device (Doctoral dissertation, Curtin University).
