Turbulence Closure

PALM offers different turbulence closures depending on the scope of the simulation.

LES

Per default, PALM is operated as an LES model using a subgrid-scale model to parameterize turbulence of size smaller than the grid size.

RANS

By using one of the RANS-turbulence parameterizations, PALM is operated in RANS-mode.
