| 7 | == LES == |
| 8 | Per default, PALM is operated as an LES model using a subgrid-scale model to parameterize turbulence of size smaller than the grid size. |
| 9 | This is descibed in more detail [/wiki/doc/tec/sgs here]. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | == RANS == |
| 12 | Switching on the RANS mode via the namelist paramter //[/wiki/doc/app/inipar#rans_mode rans_mode]//, PALM is operated as a RANS model. |
| 13 | Now, all turbulence is parameterized using a turbulence model. |
| 14 | The available turbulence parameterizations are described [/wiki/doc/tec/turbulence_parameterization here]. |
