Output Variables
This section describes the outputs you can obtain from the Turbulence module. The following types of data are available for output from the Turbulence module:
Primary Variables
Properties
Derived Variables
Boundary Variables
Integrated Quantities
Output of Primary Variables
Primary variables are the fundamental variables for a given set of modules and models. They are required as part of the solution.
