Computation of transonic flows with shock-induced separation using algebraic turbulence models

Abstract

A finite volume method based on the nodal point approach was used to develop an algebraic turbulence model for the computation of the transonic flows with shock-induced separation. Three examples were considered using a C type algebraic grid. Results of the study suggest that the flow between the wall and the minimum velocity line inside the bubble can be treated as laminar, and outside the minimum velocity line the flow behaves like attached flow.
