Research paper thumbnail of Reynolds Stress Models for Flows in Complex Geometries: Review and Application

& Proceedings 저널· 프로시딩즈| 기술보고서| 해외 …, 1999

The emphasis in this work is on the review and application of differential Reynolds stress models... more The emphasis in this work is on the review and application of differential Reynolds stress models (RSMs) for complex three-dimensional geometries. First, we review the latest status of RSMs and the various associated modeling issues. Then, practically relevant implementation ...
