Turbulence Model Assessment for High Speed Compressible Flows

Download or read book Turbulence Model Assessment for High Speed Compressible Flows written by Vijaykumar Gopalakrishnan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling turbulence is an important aspect of high speed flows from a solution accuracy point of view. This present research work focuses on the assessment of different turbulence models in predicting shock-wave turbulent boundary layer interactions induced by a compression ramp. This case is unique due to the fact that unlike earlier works on this topic, it focuses on non-separating boundary layer. Five turbulence models were assessed and are compared according to the prediction of pressure profiles, skin friction coefficient profiles and boundary layer velocity profiles.
