TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for deriving an asymptotically correct model of the velocity-pressure gradient correlation is proposed, and a model capable of approaching the high-Reynolds number model for pressure distribution far from the wall is derived.

TL;DR: In this paper, second-order near-wall turbulence closures were compared with the Reynolds-stress models for the dissipation function and the pressure redistribution term, and it was concluded that further improvements are required if a complete replication of all the turbulence properties and Reynolds-stress budgets by a statistical model of turbulence is desirable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the near-wall modeling of the dissipation rate equation and its asymptotic behavior using a k-epsilon model and found that all existing models predict an incorrect behavior near a wall.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model satisfying the near-wall balance between viscous diffusion, viscous dissipation and pressure diffusion, and also having the characteristics of approaching their respective conventional high-Reynolds-number models far away from the wall is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a near-wall four-equation turbulence model is developed for the calculation of high-speed compressible turbulent boundary layers with both adiabatic and constant temperature wall boundary conditions.
