Turbulence closure models are central to a good deal of applied computational fluid
dynamical analysis. Closure modeling endures as a productive area of research. This …

Abstract The Elliptic Blending Reynolds Stress Model (EB-RSM), originally proposed by
Manceau and Hanjalić (2002) to extend standard, weakly inhomogeneous Reynolds stress …

A general forcing method for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is proposed for the purpose of
providing the flow with fluctuations that satisfy a desired statistical state. This method, the …

A detailed computational study was performed for the case of a wall-bounded pin-fin-array in
a staggered arrangement, representative of industrial configurations designed to enhance …

The present study numerically investigates the performance of a range of RANS turbulence
closures with different near-wall treatments in the prediction of natural convection flows …

A set of Direct Numerical Simulations in a heated square cavity invoking the Boussinesq
approximation was carried out at Rayleigh numbers ranging between 10 8 and 10 11 and …

Turbulent heat transfer is a complex phenomenon, which has become the focus of
turbulence modelling research in recent years. The closure of turbulent heat flux has …

Several modifications are introduced to the Elliptic Blending Differential Flux Model
proposed by Shin et al.(2008) to account for the influence of wall blockage on the turbulent …

The present paper gives some ideas and guidelines in order to run high quality (U) RANS or
LES computations. The paper starts with (U) RANS approaches, advocating the use of …

This study investigates the performance of the elliptic blending differential flux model
(EBDFM) and the standard differential flux model (DFM) in reproducing turbulent natural …
