In turbulent flows, the field properties become random functions of space and time.
Hence, the field variables ui and p must be expressed as the sum of mean and fluctuating
parts as
ui = Ui + u0i , p = P + p0 .

where the mean and fluctuating parts satisfy
u i = Ui ,
u0i = 0

The quantity ij = u0i u0j is known as the Reynolds stress tensor which is symmetric
and thus has six components. By the application of (8) Eq. (9) can then be expressed as

By decomposing the instantaneous properties into mean and fluctuating parts, we have
introduced 3 unknown quantities. Unfortunately, we have gain no additional equations.
This means our system is not yet closed. To close the system, we must find enough
equations to solve for our unknowns. In what follows, we describe several approaches
(turbulence models) for solving the RANS equations.

and T is the kinetic eddy viscosity assumed as an isotropic scalar quantity which
is not strictly true so that the term approximation is appropriate.

Spalart-Allmaras Model
In Spalart-Allmaras Model, the turbulence kinetic energy is not calculated, the last term
in Equation (12) is ignored when estimating the Reynolds stresses
u0i u0j = 2T Sij .

The model includes eight closure coefficients and three closure functions. Its defining
equations are as follows:

The k Model
The k model has been modified over the years, production terms have been added to
both the k and equations, which have improved the accuracy of the model for predicting
free shear flows. The following version of the k model is presented
