The simulation of technological and environmental flows is very
important for many industrial developments. A major challenge
related to their modeling is to involve the characteristic
turbulence that appears in most of these flows. The traditional way
to tackle this question is to use deterministic equations where the
effects of turbulence are directly parametrized, i. e. , assumed as
functions of the variables considered. However, this approach often
becomes problematic, in particular if reacting flows have to be
simulated. In many cases, it turns out that appropriate
approximations for the closure of deterministic equations are
simply unavailable. The alternative to the traditional way of
modeling turbulence is to construct stochastic models which explain
the random nature of turbulence. The application of such models is
very attractive: one can overcome the closure problems that are
inherent to deterministic methods on the basis of relatively simple
and physically consistent models. Thus, from a general point of
view, the use of stochastic methods for turbulence simulations
seems to be the optimal way to solve most of the problems related
to industrial flow simulations. However, it turns out that this is
not as simple as it looks at first glance. The first question
concerns the numerical solution of stochastic equations for flows
of environmental and technological interest. To calculate
industrial flows, 3 one often has to consider a number of grid
cells that is of the order of 100 .
