Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing and computing anisotropic turbulent flow quantities of an anisotropic fluid comprising: providing input to a general purpose computer defining, for an anisotropic fluid, a set of moment equations governing time average thermal and turbulent motion, directional kinetic energy, shear, directional kinetic energy fluxes, and structure correlations; instructing the general purpose computer to calculate n using the set of closed time average turbulent moment equations to calculate a turbulent flow quantity of the anisotropic fluid; and displaying the calculated turbulent flow quantity; wherein the set of moment equations governing time average turbulent directional kinetic energy, shear, directional kinetic energy fluxes, and structure correlations is defined by: Directional Kinetic Energy Shear Directional Kinetic Energy Fluxes and Structure Correlations
