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.

Output of Derived Variables

Derived variables are engineering data computed from the primary variables. While not required as part of the solution, they can provide valuable information for analysis of the results. Nothing is currently available for the Turbulence module:

Output of Boundary Variables

Boundary variables are data associated with a boundary. While not required as part of the solution, they can provide valuable information for analysis of the results.
