Abstract

For plane channel flows with a constant pressure gradient and for constant-pressure shear layer flows, a simple closure scheme for the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is proposed as an alternative to eddy-viscosity-based models. The closure scheme makes it possible to compute flows at any Reynolds number, including near the laminar-turbulent transition.
