The numerical computation of turbulent flows
Brian Launder,D. B. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the applicability and applicability of numerical predictions of turbulent flow, and advocate that computational economy, range of applicability, and physical realism are best served by turbulence models in which the magnitudes of two turbulence quantities, the turbulence kinetic energy k and its dissipation rate ϵ, are calculated from transport equations solved simultaneously with those governing the mean flow behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prediction of laminarization with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the local turbulent viscosity is determined from the solution of transport equations for the turbulence kinetic energy and the energy dissipation rate, and the predicted hydrodynamic and heat-transfer development of the boundary layers is in close agreement with the measured behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the development of a Reynolds-stress turbulence closure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model of turbulence in which the Reynolds stresses are determined from the solution of transport equations for these variables and for the turbulence energy dissipation rate E. Particular attention is given to the approximation of the pressure-strain correlations; the forms adopted appear to give reasonably satisfactory partitioning of the stresses both near walls and in free shear flows.

Application of the energy-dissipation model of turbulence to the calculation of flow near a spinning disc

Lectures in mathematical models of turbulence
Brian Launder,D. B. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a lecture in mathematical models of turbulence is presented. But it is based on a mathematical model of turbulence, not on a real world scenario, and it is not suitable for discussion.
