Homogeneous anisotropic turbulence simulations are used to determine off-diagonal components of the Reynolds stress tensor and its parameterization in terms of turbulent viscosity and Λ-effect. The turbulence is forced in an anisotropic fashion by enhancing the strength of the forcing in the vertical direction. The Coriolis force is included with a rotation axis inclined relative to the vertica...

The lag model proposed by Olsen and Coakley is incorporated into the baseline two-equation k-ω turbulence model to simulate the transonic and supersonic turbulent separated flow. The performances of the lagged k-ω turbulence model is assessed by computing two transonic airfoil flow cases, the RAE2822 Case 10 and the 18% thick double circular arc airfoil, and a separated nozzle flow. The computa...

The present paper is primarily concerned with modeling complex turbulent wall-bounded flow in spray-painting processes by using a commercial CFD code. Computational results of turbulent channel flow with low Reynolds numbers are compared with DNS data in order to obtain the performance of turbulence models and near wall treatments. The realizable k-ε model with the nonequilibrium wall function ...

A number of numer~cal simulations of rack storage fires have been carr~ed out, with various fuel types and burner outputs. Both the standard buoyancy-modified k E turbulence model and a recently developed turbulence model which significantly improves the consideration of the buoyancy effect on turbulence and turbulent transport, were used to study the turbulence of the buoyant flow. The flamele...

The analysis of impeller shape performance was carried out with the SST (Shear-Stress Transport) model coupled with the streamline curvature turbulence model. This model combines the advantages from the κ−ε and κ−ω models, ensuring proper relation between turbulent stress and turbulent kinetic energy and allowing accurate and robust prediction of the impeller blade flow separation. The Multiple...

This paper extends the two-level Variational MultiScale (VMS) method for Large-Eddy Simulation, introduced by Hughes et al. [Comput. Visual. Sci., 3:47–59 (2000)], to a threelevel approach that clarifies the role of unresolved scales of motion on the resolved scales. It is shown that the multi-scale framework does not obviate modeling on the large-scales, but that VMS allows for different model...

Significant developments in bridge aeroelastic analysis have been made utilizing realistic aerodynamic force modeling for bridges with bluff sections under turbulent winds. With these developments as a background, this paper highlights state-of-the-art developments in the aeroelastic analysis and identifies new frontiers in aerodynamic tailoring of long span bridges. Challenges in the aeroelast...
