Turbulence Zone (2D) objects are polygon objects which are used to represent the physical area in which eddy viscosity is to apply.
The following describes all the data which can be used to define a Turbulence Zone (2D).
Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.

Turbulence model |
The name of the Turbulence Model (2D) associated with this zone. For a newly created turbulence zone, this is set to DEFAULT (a blank model assigned to the network). A list of all models available in the network can be displayed by clicking on the dropdown. |

Exclude turbulence zone boundary when creating 2D mesh |
Indicates if the turbulence zone boundaries are used as break lines for triangulation when creating a 2D mesh that incorporates the turbulence zone (2D). This option is selected by default. If this option is not selected, 2D mesh triangles are assigned to the turbulence zone (2D) containing their centroid. Aggregation ensures that all triangles within a given 2D element are assigned the same turbulence zone (2D). |
