SUMMARYPredictions for two-dimensional, steady, incompressible flows under both laminar and turbulent conditions are presented. The standard k-c turbulence model is used for the turbulent flows. The computational method is based on the approximate factorization technique. The coupled approach is used to link the equations of motion and the turbulence model equations. Mass conservation is enforced by either the pseudocompressibility method or the pressure correction method. Comparison of the two methods shows a superiority of the pressure correction method. Second-and fourth-order artificial dissipation terms are used in order to achieve good convergence and to handle the turbulence model equations efficiently. Several internal and external test cases are investigated, including attached and separated flows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
