TLDR
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

Numerical simulation of turbulent flow in helically coiled open-channels with compound cross-sections
TL;DR: In this paper, the Launder and Ying model, the Naot and Rodi model, and the nonlinear k-∈ model (SY model) were compared with observation of turbulent flows in alternating point-bar type channel bends with rectangular sections, and straight open channel flows with compound cross-sections.

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a model of turbulence which effects closure through approximated transport equations for the Reynolds stress tensor the turbulence energy κ and e.g., the turbulent shear stress does not vanish where the mean rate of strain goes to zero.
