Verification and validation of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models for external flow

Analysis of transitional flow in 3D geometries using a novel phenomenological model

“…The few first serious efforts to evaluate transition modeling capabilities of used turbulence models were presented by Savill, [6]. On a similar issue, the work of Freeman and Roy, [7] presents a detailed evaluation of used Reynolds Average Navier Stokes, or RANS, turbulence models for external flow test cases. Also, an evaluation on natural turbulence transition sensitivity of RANS turbulence models, implemented on the PAB3D code, was performed by Pao and Abdol-Hamid, [8].…”
