Abstract: This paper reports on progress made in the development of a numerical predictive procedure for turbulent flows in rotating rectangular ducts. The unknown turbulent stresses were approximated with ...

Abstract: A complete second-order closure model of turbulence is used to predict the behavior of fully developed turbulent flows in open channels of both simple and compound cross sections. This level of closure entails the solution ...

Abstract: Modifications to a Reynolds stress closure are proposed in which the weighting of the two components of the pressure-strain correlation is adjusted: the turbulence part is increased to conform ...

Abstract: Difficulties in predicting the behavior of some high Reynolds number flows in the circulatory system stem in part from the severe requirements placed on the turbulence model chosen to close ...

Abstract: This paper reports on the prediction of heat transfer in a fully developed turbulent flow in a straight rotating channel with blowing and suction through opposite walls. The channel is rotated ...

Abstract: We report on a curious result related to the computation of the asymptotic depth in rough compound channels by one-dimensional approaches. Such approaches, which are widely used in practice, utilize one of a number of ...

Abstract: A proposal for modeling the effects of system rotation on the turbulent scalar fluxes is presented. It is based on extension to rotating frames of an explicit algebraic model derived using ...

Abstract: Data from free turbulent jets both with and without swirl are used to assess the performance of the pressure-strain model of Speziale, Sarkar and Gatski, which is quadratic in the Reynolds ...

Abstract: The use in the offshore engineering industry of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate the hydrodynamic forces due to steady, turbulent currents on offshore structures has so far been ...
