Second-moment closure for modelling the near-wall turbulence in 3D mean flows

Abstract

A second-moment closure for the near-wall turbulence is proposed. The limiting behaviour of this closure near a wall is consistent with that of the exact Reynolds-stress transport equations, and it converts asymptotically into a high-Reynolds-number closure remote from the wall. The closure is applied to a pressure-driven 3D transient channel flow. The predicted results are in fair agreement with the DNS data.
