Abstract: A physics-based modification to the kT−kL−ω transition-sensitive eddy-viscosity model is presented. The modification corrects an anomaly related to the physical mechanism of production of laminar kinetic energy for regions ...

Abstract: A new scalar eddyviscosity turbulence model is proposed, designed to exhibit physically correct responses to flow transition, streamline curvature, and system rotation effects. The eddyviscosity model (EVM) developed herein ...

Abstract: Efficacy of several large-scale flow parameters as transition onset markers are evaluated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) of boundary layer bypass transition. Preliminary results identify parameters (k2D/ν) and ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using largescale models of the human lung airway and unsteady periodic breathing conditions. The computational domain included fully coupled representations of ...
