TLDR
In this paper, a wall-distance-free low-Re κ-e turbulence closure model was proposed to improve the prediction of adverse pressure gradient flows, including those involving separated flows regions.
Abstract
We evaluate a wall-distance-free low-Re κ-e turbulence closure model which Incorporates an extra source term in the e transport equation designed to increase the level of e in nonequilibrium flow regions, thus reducing the kinetic energy and length scale magnitudes to improve prediction of adverse pressure gradient flows, including those involving separated flows regions. Two such cases are used here to test the model: one in the low speed flow regime, the other a supersonic one. Comparisons with experimental data and with an earlier version of the κ-e model, as well as with a variant of the κ-ω model (both also wall-distance-free) reveal that the proposed model enables improved prediction of adverse pressure gradient flows relative to more traditional κ-e models

Sub-grid turbulence modeling for unsteady flow with acoustic resonance

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) sub-grid models is proposed, which combines the best features of time-averaged and spatially filtered models, yielding the superior near-wall stress predictions of (algebraic or full-transport) Reynolds-stress models with the ability to override any quasi-steady grid-converged RAN's model solution in regions of sufficiently high grid density.

Numerical Study of Plane and Round Impinging Jets using RANS Models

TL;DR: In this paper, different impinging jet configurations are studied by means of time-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations, and results from numerical simulations, using different models, are compared among them and with experimental data available in the literature.

The Structure of Turbulence in Fully Developed Pipe Flow

John Laufer
TL;DR: In this paper, a hot-wire anemometer was used to measure the turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second, and the results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra.

Reynolds-stress and dissipation-rate budgets in a turbulent channel flow

TL;DR: In this article, the Reynolds stresses and the dissipation rate of the turbulence kinetic energy are computed using direct simulation data of a turbulent channel flow using a closed-loop model, where the budget data reveal that all the terms in the budget become important close to the wall.
