In 1.5 the choice of turbulence modelling, either Reynolds-averaged stress (RAS) or large-eddy simulation (LES), was hard-coded into solver applications. In 1.6, that choice is typically made at run-time through a simulationType entry in a general turbulenceProperties file. For more information, please consult the User Guide.
