Welcome to the Computational Fluid Dynamics Wiki, a project of CFD Online. Free to all, intended to produce the most comprehensive and useful CDF resource available, CFD-Wiki is created and maintained by volunteers from around the world. Please join us and contribute something today! You can also help by donating your reports and theses, or by doing much need editing.

Launched: November 20, 2005. We are currently working on 570 articles.

Turbulence

Turbulence is a state of fluid motion, characterized by apparently random and chaotic three-dimensional vorticity. When turbulence is present it usually dominates all other flow phenomena, resulting in increased energy dissipation, mixing, heat transfer, and drag... more


A good place to start for an introduction to fluid dynamics, this article considers CFD as it relates to turbulence.
