Comparison of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layer Calculations with Experiment: The Eurovisc 1982 Berlin Workshop

摘要

The results of several three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer calculations have been compared with each other and with experiment for a number of test cases. The calculation methods applied range from integral methods to field methods using a turbulence model based upon the Reynolds stress transport equations. The test cases comprise various pressure-drive flows and one shear-driven flow. Agreement between theory and experiment was directly related to the empiricism employed in the calculation methods, the Reynolds shear stresses.
