Turbulence Models for Boundary Layers on Axisymmetric Bodies.

Abstract

This report describes two turbulence models for boundary layers on axisymmetric bodies. The turbulence models are the algebraic eddy-viscosity formulation of Cebeci and Smith and the form of the two-equation transport approach suggested by Hanjalic and Launder. In both cases, the governing equations are solved in finite-difference form using Keller's box scheme and the computer program described by Bradshaw, Cebeci, and Whitelaw. The results computed by both models are evaluated for several test cases and discussed in the report. In addition, input and output instructions of a computer program based on the K-epsilon model are given together with a sample calculation.
