{wiki=Baldwin–Lomax_model}

The Baldwin–Lomax model is a mathematical model used in fluid dynamics to predict the behavior of turbulent flows, particularly in the context of boundary layer flows over surfaces. This model specifically addresses the turbulence characteristics in boundary layers, which are layers of fluid in close proximity to a solid surface where viscous effects are significant. The Baldwin–Lomax model is notable for its simplicity and its semi-empirical nature, meaning it combines theoretical concepts with empirical data to provide closure to the turbulence equations.
