    This document provides an overview of turbulent flow and its modeling. It discusses the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, characteristics of simple turbulent flows and boundary layers near solid walls. It then covers turbulence simulation methods including RANS, URANS, LES and DNS. Key aspects of each modeling approach are summarized such as the effect of turbulence on the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, energy cascade, filtering steps in LES, and common sub-grid scale models like Smagorinsky, dynamic Smagorinsky and WALE models.
