Question #244604 on Yade changed:

Status: Open => Answered
Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
Nope.
The current formulation is rooted in Stokes assumption
(viscous/laminar/creeping flow). Inertial effects are disregarded, hence no
turbulence.
There may be ways to include some inertial terms (the dv/dt of Navier-Stokes).
We did some preliminary work about this.
Yet, turbulence comes from the v.∇v, and for this one it is still an open
question how it could be included in the PFV framework (if only it is possible,
I doubt it).
It could be reflected somehow in a non linear form of the Poiseuille law. It
would be similar to - speaking at the macro scale - replacing Darcy's law by
Forchheimer's law, but I would not call this a simulation of turbulent flow in
itself.
