Die Reynolds-gemittelten Navier-Stokes-Gleichungen (RANS) sind zeitgemittelte Bewegungsgleichungen für turbulente Strömungen. Dieser Ansatz, genannt Reynolds decomposition, separates flow variables into a mean and a fluctuating component. The averaging process introduces an additional term, the Reynolds stress tensor, which represents the effect of turbulence and must be modeled to achieve closure, making simulations computationally tractable.
