Turbulence Zone (2D)

Turbulence Zone (2D) objects are polygon objects which are used to represent the physical area in which eddy viscosity is to apply.

You can choose whether or not the turbulence zone is to be included within a 2D mesh. If included, the turbulence zone boundaries will be used as break lines when creating a 2D mesh that includes the turbulence zone.

A Turbulence Model (2D), which describes the characteristics for eddy viscosity, can be associated with each turbulence zone. See the Turbulence Model (2D) topic for further details.

Turbulence Zones can be imported via the Open Data Import Centre or can be digitised directly on the GeoPlan Window.

For further information about creating and editing polygons, see the Digitising Network Objects section.

Turbulence Zone parameters are edited in the Turbulence Zone (2D) Grid Window of the Polygons Grid or the Turbulence Zone (2D) Property Sheet.
