Le equazioni di Navier-Stokes mediate da Reynolds (RANS) sono equazioni del moto mediate nel tempo per il flusso di fluidi turbolenti. Questo approccio, chiamato 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.
