Abstract: A comparison of several Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) based transition models is presented. Four of the most widespread models are selected: the γ−Reθ, γ, amplification factor transport (AFT), and kT−kL−ω models, ...

Abstract: Although most flows in maritime applications can be modeled as incompressible, for certain phenomena like sloshing, slamming, and cavitation, this approximation falls short. For these events, it is necessary to consider ...

Abstract: The importance of the turbulence closure to the modeling accuracy of the partially-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (PANS) is investigated in prediction of the flow around a circular cylinder at Reynolds number of 3900. A ...

Abstract: In recent decades, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in many areas of engineering as a research and development tool has seen remarkable growth. Recently, an increasing concern with the assessment of the quality ...

Abstract: This work investigates the importance of verification and validation (V&amp
