Abstract: A k-epsilon model is proposed for wall bonded turbulent flows. In this model, the eddy viscosity is characterized by a turbulent velocity scale and a turbulent time scale. The time scale is bounded from below by the Kolmogorov time scale. The dissipation equation is reformulated using this time scale and no singularity exists at the wall. The damping function used in the eddy viscosity is chosen to be a function of R(sub y) = (k(sup 1/2)y)/v instead of y(+). Hence, the model could be used for flows with separation. The model constants used are the same as in the high Reynolds number standard k-epsilon model. Thus, the proposed model will be also suitable for flows far from the wall. Turbulent channel flows at different Reynolds numbers and turbulent boundary layer flows with and without pressure gradient are calculated. Results show that the model predictions are in good agreement with direct numerical simulation and experimental data.

Numerical Simulation of Separated Flows in Channels
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of several eddy viscosity models and an explicit algebraic Reynolds stress model (EARSM) is studied for turbulent flows in channels with an expansion of the cross-section where flow separation and reattachment occur.

An Improved Low-Reynolds-Number k – ϵ Model for Aerodynamic Flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a low Reynolds number k ∈ model based on a new turbulent structure parameter a1_NC was proposed and evaluated and the results indicate that the new model offers remarkable improvement on the nonequilibrium flows, e.g. separated and adverse pressure gradient flows.

Analysis of disagreement between numerically predicted and experimental heat transfer data of impinging jet
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of jet impinging plate thickness and thermal conductivity on the local heat flux distribution along the plate were investigated, and it was shown that the non-uniformity of the heat flux on the plate surface gets more profound as the plate becomes thicker.

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.
