A Turbulence Model for the Numerical Simulation of Transitional Boundary Layers

  • Conference paper

Summary

Conditioned averages are used for a detailed simulation of the intermittent flow in the transition zone of a boundary layer. Conditioned continuity, momentum and turbulence equations are constructed. The equations contain source terms which express interactions between turbulent spots and laminar fluid. These terms are modelled with some simplifying assumptions about turbulent spot growth. The finite difference calculations are compared with different experiments.
