Choose preset values of turbulence intensity and eddy viscosity ratio
Low turbulence case: external flow around cars, ships, submarines, and aircrafts. Medium turbulence case: flow in not-so-complex devices like large pipes, fans, ventilation flows, wind tunnels, or low speed flows. High turbulence case: high-speed flow inside complex geometries like heat-exchangers and rotating machinery (turbines and compressors).
