Abstract
Three Reynolds-Stress Models (RSMs) have been benchmarked on industrial configurations with aeronautical applications. The models are first compared on a zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer, which highlights the differences in the near-wall approaches of the models. Results are then analyzed for the Skåre & Krogstad adverse-pressure-gradient boundary layer and the Common Research Model (CRM) aircraft for two Reynolds numbers. Both cases display improvements in using RSMs over the eddy-viscosity Spalart-Allmaras model. Two of the considered second-moment closures better predict the boundary layer growth and its shape factor in the Skåre & Krogstad test case, and all noticeably improve the drag-due-to-lift in the CRM case.
