Abstract

This paper presents the results of testing of the \(\overline {v^2 } - f\) model of turbulence with the examples of two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid and heat exchange with the walls of an abruptly expanding duct. The calculation data have been compared to the known experimental data, and the data of direct numerical simulation, as well as to results of calculations with the use of two versions of the k-ω model.
