<p>Stanford absolutely does CFD simulations of turbulence and the graduate students there are absolutely some of the people working on those simulations. I also know for certain that at least some of it involves turbulence modeling. Basically, any program doing research that involves CFD simulations of turbulence are more than likely doing turbulence modeling. The only other option is to do a DNS, and those just aren’t practical for most geometries, so most turbulent CFD is modeled to some degree.</p>
