Abstract
AbstractA low‐Reynolds number k–ε turbulence model is proposed that incorporates diffusion terms and modified Cε(1,2) coefficients to amplify the level of dissipation in non‐equilibrium flow regions, thus reducing the kinetic energy and length scale magnitudes to improve prediction of adverse pressure gradient flows, involving flow separation and reattachment. Unlike the conventional k–ε model, it requires no wall function/distance parameter that bridges the near‐wall integration. The model is validated against a few flow cases, yielding predictions in good agreement with the direct numerical simulation (DNS) and experimental data. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
