Abstract
The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for various flow problems have become widespread nowadays, yet their use still needs attention and care. In particular, turbulence models are often a crucial part of flow computations undertaken with various software packages, either commercial, open-source or in-house. In the paper, an overview of available model categories is provided, together with some discussion of their advantages or drawbacks with respect to flow cases of interest.
