Detailed Description

Synthetic Eddy Methods can be used to set turbulent inlet boundary conditions or turbulent velocity conditions. We use hte method proposed in [1,2,3].

This module is an adaptation of Fortran code that can be found here.

In an input computational box on which is defined a mean velocity field, Reynolds stresses, length and time scales distributions, the method generates a fluctuating velocity.
