What challenges do engineers face when modeling turbulent flows?
Turbulent flows are like the wild cards of fluid dynamics, unpredictable and incredibly complex. As an engineer, you might find yourself trying to tame this chaos into a model that can predict how fluids will behave under various conditions. The task is daunting, as turbulence is inherently random and affects everything from the flow around an aircraft wing to the mixing of pollutants in the atmosphere.
