eddy viscosity model [′ed·ē vi′skäs·əd·ē ‚mäd·əl]

7) Different type of eddy viscosity models have been developed in [8] assuming a three-layer eddy viscosity distribution.
In addition, FLUENT makes available a large suite of turbulence models ranging from one-equation eddy viscosity models through full second-moment closures.
