This section describes how to setup turbulence models for RANS simulations. In general turbulence models are selected via the option `KIND_TURB_MODEL`, corrections/versions and parameters of the models are specified via the options listed below.

The turbulent Pradtl number can be modified with option `PRANDTL_TURB` (the default is 0.9).

The freestream and inlet conditions are specified via the option `FREESTREAM_NU_FACTOR= 3` (ratio of SA variable to freestream kinematic viscosity).

The main model is selected using `KIND_TURB_MODEL= SST` and the version and modifications via the `SST_OPTIONS` list. If this list is empty SU2 defaults to the baseline 1994 model, `V1994m` (see warning below). The options allow for a version and a set of modifiers to the version.

The freestream and inlet conditions are specified via the options `FREESTREAM_TURBULENCEINTENSITY= 0.05` (5%) and `FREESTREAM_TURB2LAMVISCRATIO= 10` (ratio of turbulent to laminar viscosity).

**Note:** The default values for these options are suitable for internal flows but may be too high for external aerodynamics problems.
