From which of these terms does the turbulent viscosity arise from?(a) \(\frac{\partial(\overline{\rho}\tilde{u})}{\partial t}\)(b) \(-\frac{\partial\tilde{p}}{\partial x} \)(c) \(div(\mu grad\widetilde{(\vec{V})})\)(d) \(\frac{\partial\overline{(\overline{\rho}u{‘}v{‘})}}{\partial y}\)This question was addressed to me at a job interview.This question is from Turbulence Modelling topic in section Turbulence Modelling of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) \(\frac{\partial\overline{(\overline{\rho}u{‘}v{‘})}}{\partial y}\)

For EXPLANATION: The term \(\overline{(\overline{ρ}u’v’)}\) represents the TURBULENT shear STRESS (Reynolds stress) in the MOMENTUM equation. This leads to the turbulent or eddy viscosity in the turbulent models.
