Abstract: A second-moment R eynolds S tress T ransport M odel (RSTM) is used in the present work for computing the flow around a two-dimensional airfoil. An incompressible SIMPLEC code is used, employing ...

Abstract: This study presents a new near-wall treatment for low-Reynolds number (LRN) turbulence models that maintains accuracy in ‘coarse’ mesh predictions. The method is based on a thorough examination ...

Abstract: Flow around a simplified bus is analyzed using large-eddy simulation. At the Reynolds number of 0.21×106, based on the model height and the incoming velocity, the flow produces features ...

Abstract: Accurately predicting both average flow quantities and acoustic sources at the front window of today’s ground vehicles are still a considerable challenge to automotive companies worldwide. One ...

Abstract: Large eddy simulations (LES) were made of flows around a generic ground vehicle with sharp edges at the rear end (an Ahmed body with a 25° angle of the rear slanted surface). Separation ...

Abstract: Results of a large eddy simulation (LES) are used to explore the flow around a generic car model. A new, refined picture of this flow is established. Many parts and aspects of this flow ...

Abstract: The case investigated is the flow past a generic side mirror mounted on a flat plate at the Reynolds number of ReD=5.2×105 based on the mirror diameter. The present work studies both ...

Abstract: A modified form of Wilcox’s low-Reynolds-number k-ω model (Wilcox, 1994) is proposed for predicting recirculating flows. The turbulent diffusion for the specific dissipation rate, ω, is modeled ...
