What Does TKE Stand For?

TKE stands for Turbulent Kinetic Energy

Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) refers to the energy contained in turbulent flows, characterized by chaotic and irregular fluid motion. It is a critical parameter in fluid dynamics, representing the kinetic energy associated with the velocity fluctuations in a turbulent flow. TKE is integral to understanding and modeling turbulent transport processes in various fields, including meteorology, oceanography, and engineering, as it influences mixing, energy dissipation, and momentum transfer within a fluid system.
