Abstract: The transport equation for the Reynolds stress is simplified to yield the Kolmogorov-Prandtl eddy viscosity expression, and the conditions are studied under which the empirical factor cμ in this ...

Abstract: The present paper describes predictions of film cooling by a row of holes. The calculations have been performed by a two-dimensional boundary-layer code with special modifications that account ...

Abstract: A modified version of the k-ε turbulence model is developed which predicts well the main features of turbulent wall jets. The model relates the turbulent shear stress to the mean velocity ...

Abstract: The k-ε model and a one-equation model have been used to predict adverse pressure gradient boundary layers. While the one-equation model gives generally good results, the k-ε model reveals ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is presented for calculating the external heat transfer coefficients around gas turbine blades. The model is based on a finite-difference procedure for solving the boundary-layer ...

Abstract: An overview is provided of various direct numerical simulations (DNS) of transitional flows in turbine-related geometries. Two flow cases are considered: the first case concerns separating flow ...

Abstract: A model for predicting transition in flows with separation is presented in this study. The two-layer model of turbulence is employed, along with a suitably defined intermittency function, which ...

Abstract: The paper examines the performance of three discretization schemes for convection and three turbulence-model variations when used to simulate the recirculating flow in an annular and a plane ...

Abstract: Turbulence measurements are made in the inlet region of a rectangular laboratory settling tank with a two‐component laser‐Doppler system. The flow fields from a plane jet impinging on two types of deflector, at constant ...
