The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are a set of equations that describe the motion of fluid substances, incorporating the effects of turbulence by averaging the Navier-Stokes equations over time. This averaging process results in additional terms that account for the turbulent fluctuations, making it easier to analyze complex flow behaviors in engineering applications, especially in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics.
