Abstract:The feasibility of using the elliptic blending Reynolds stress model (EB-RSM) in hybrid RANS-LES methods is investigated in this paper. The advantage of the EB-RSM is that it does not use any geometrical wall distance or wall normal vector information which makes it well suited for application in flows with complex wall geometries. A slight modification to the original EB-RSM is proposed to improve the performance for flows with separation. The model is also extended to a sub-grid scale model for fully resolve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
