Turbulent kinetic energy budgets in wall bounded flows with pressure gradients and separation

LACA Schiavo, WR Wolf, JLF Azevedo - Physics of fluids, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
Numerical simulations are employed to investigate the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)
budgets in turbulent channel flows with pressure gradients and separation. Incompressible …
