Abstract
A method has been developed for the application of wall functions to generalized curvilinear coordinate systems with nonorthogonal grids. Two test cases have been computed using this method with the k-e turbulence model: flow over a flat plate at 0-deg angle of attack using a nonorthogonal grid at the wall and flow over a prolate hemispheroid with a hemispherical nose cap at 0-deg angle of attack. All results are compared with experimental data. In addition, the hemispheroid results are compared with computations using the Baldwin-Lomax algebraic turbulence model and the Chien low-Reynolds-number k-e turbulence model.
