= 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:: Switching on the RANS mode via the namelist paramter //[/wiki/doc/app/inipar#rans_mode rans_mode]//, PALM is operated as a RANS model. Now, all turbulence is parameterized using a turbulence model. ////
