Abstract

The present paper presents a comparison of two one-equation models in recirculating flows. Special attention is given to their ability to predict the reverse transport of turbulent energy (‘backscatter’). This work is part of the project “Large Eddy Simulation for Computing the Flow Around Vehicles” (http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~Lada/projects/sinisa/proright.html) in collaboration between the Department of Thermo and Fluid Dynamics at Chalmers and the CFD group at Volvo Car Corporation.

This work was carried out during the author’s stay at Chalmers.
