Abstract

The one-equation turbulence models by Spalart and Allmaras (SA) and Sekundov et al. (Nut-92) are tested against two compressible two-dimensional flows, namely, the turbulent flat-plate boundary layer at zero pressure gradient and the mixing layer. The boundary layer (BL) approximation is applied to the system of Reynolds equations (RANS). The BL results obtained are compared with the available RANS results and the results of direct numerical simulation (DNS). The modified Nut-92m model proposed predicts the characteristics of the turbulent flat-plate boundary layer at zero pressure gradient more accurately than the Nut-92 and SA models.
