Engineering Turbulence Models and their Development, with Emphasis on Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Models

  • Chapter
Book cover Theories of Turbulence

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 442))

Abstract

Single-point turbulence models will be discussed from a somewhat analytical point of view. The lowest level of modelling considered here is that of eddy-viscosity-based two-equation models, but particular attention is given to explicit algebraic Reynolds stress models (and explicit algebraic scalar flux models). Some new trends in models based directly on the Reynolds stress transport equations are also discussed.

The author wants to thank Dr Stefan Wallin for various valuable contributions, and Gustaf Mårtensson and professor Fritz Busse for many useful comments on the manuscript.
