Turbulence Modeling for CFD

by David C. Wilcox

This book has been developed from the author’s lecture notes used in presenting a post-graduate course on turbulence modeling at the University of Southern University. The primary goal of this book is to provide a Systematic approach to developing a set of constitutive equations suitable for computation of turbulence flows. The contents include Closure problems, Algebraic Models, Turbulence Energy Equation Models, Effects of Compressibility, Beyond the Boussinesq Approximation, Numerical Considerations, Perturbation Methods and Program EDDYBL ( a two dimensional and axisymmetric, compressible boundary-layer program for turbulent Boundary layers in included on the distribution diskette)
