In this paper, a nonlinear K-l and K-e model is proposed to predict the normal Reynolds stresses in turbulent channel flow much more accurately than the linear model, and the nonlinear model is shown to be capable of predicting turbulent secondary flows in non-circular ducts.Abstract:
The commonly used linear K-l and K-e models of turbulence are shown to be incapable of accurately predicting turbulent flows where the normal Reynolds stresses play an important role. By means of an asymptotic expansion, nonlinear K-l and K-e models are obtained which, unlike all such previous nonlinear models, satisfy both realizability and the necessary invariance requirements. Calculations are presented which demonstrate that this nonlinear model is able to predict the normal Reynolds stresses in turbulent channel flow much more accurately than the linear model. Furthermore, the nonlinear model is shown to be capable of predicting turbulent secondary flows in non-circular ducts - a phenomenon which the linear models are fundamentally unable to describe. An additional application of this model to the improved prediction of separated flows is discussed briefly along with other possible avenues of future research.read more

A low aspect ratio backward-facing step flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a nonlinear κ-ϵ model to simulate the flow numerically and found that the reattachment length of the present problem was considerably shorter than that of two-dimensional backward-facing step flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the Yap correction and the nonlinear stress-strain relation on the predictions of mean flow, turbulence quantities and local heat transfer rate was examined by employing both the prescribed heat flux approach and the conjugate heat transfer approach.

Flow Velocity Distribution Towards Flowmeter Accuracy: CFD, UDV, and Field Tests
TL;DR: In this article, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3.b, was used to validate the results provided by the numerical model, intensive experimental campaigns were developed using ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV) as calibration, and a pumping station was simulated using as boundary conditions the values measured in situ.

A pseudo-DNS method for the simulation of incompressible fluid flows with instabilities at different scales
TL;DR: A new way for the treatment of the flow at thefine scale is introduced, simulating not only the coarse scale but also the fine scale with all the necessary detail, but without incurring in the excessive computational cost of the classical DNS.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale flow field was obtained by directly integrating the filtered, three-dimensional, time dependent, Navier-Stokes equations, and small-scale field motions were simulated through an eddy viscosity model.

Computational Modeling of Turbulent Flows
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that direct simulation is not an alternative for practical computation and that the various sophisticated closures suffer from essentially the same problems as the direct simulations and therefore, are limited to homogeneous situations.
