Extension of the k-omega-SST turbulence model for flows over rough surfaces [PDF]
This paper introduces an improved computational method for predicting the behaviour of turbulent flows over rough surfaces. The method is based on the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations employing the k - w-SST turbulence model. An existing surface-roughness method, developed for the traditional k — w models, was found to not work well ...

Evaluation of Different k-omega and k-epsilon Turbulence Models in a New Curvilinear Formulation [PDF]
Despite significant progress in unstructured grid generation and employment, the robust employment of body-conforming coordinate systems promotes the workers to consider it as a major alternative to treat relatively complex flow fields in irregular geometries.

Formulation of the k-omega Turbulence Model Revisited [PDF]
This paper presents a reformulated version of the author'sk-ω model of turbulence. Revisions include the addition of just one new closure coefficient and an adjustment to the dependence of eddy viscosity on turbulence properties. The result is a significantly improved model that applies to both boundary layers and free shear flows and that has very ...

Curvature and Rotation Sensitive Variants of the K-Omega SST Turbulence Model
Volume 1: Symposia, Parts A, B and C, 2009The two-equation, eddy-viscosity class of models remains the primary means of turbulence closure for most CFD applications, however these models typically are not sensitized correctly to streamline curvature or system rotation. This paper presents the development and testing of new versions of the k-omega SST turbulence model that are intended to ...

Modification to the k-Omega Turbulence Model for Vortically Dominated Flows [PDF]
[Abstract] Vortically dominated flows (wingtip, vortex-fin interaction, jet into cross-flow) have traditionally been difficult to accurately model using two-equation RANS (Reynolds Averaged NavierStokes) CFD tools. However RANS models provide the “workhorse” for many aerodynamic simulations.

Stress Limiter Consideration for k-omega Turbulence Models in Shock-Wave/Turbulent Boundary-Layer Interactions in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flows [PDF]
The shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model of Menter was proposed to predict an accurate separated flow in the adverse pressure gradient flows, but it has sometimes failed to predict the flowfield with strong shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction. In an effort to improve the original k-ω model, Wilcox has recently proposed a modified k-

Staggered upwind method for solving Navier-Stokes and k-omega turbulence model equations
AIAA Journal, 1995A staggered finite volume upwind algorithm for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the k-w turbulence model equations has been developed for computing cascade flows. Roe's upwind scheme is used to discretize the convective terms of the Navier-Stokes equations and a third-order upwind scheme is used for the convective terms of the k-ω ...

Staggered finite volume scheme for solving cascade flow with a k-omega turbulence model
AIAA Journal, 1994A k-ω turbulence model by Wilcox is applied to cascade flow calculations. A staggered finite volume scheme is proposed to solve the compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the k-ω equations are solved on staggered control volumes with k and ω defined at the cell vertices of the original grid.

Influence of freestream values on k-omega turbulence model predictions
AIAA Journal, 1992The Wilcox (1988, 1991) k-omega model for eddy-viscosity turbulence does not require damping functions in the viscous sublayer, and its equations are less stiff near the wall. It has been designed to predict the requisite wake length in equilibrium, adverse pressure-gradient boundary-layer flows.
