Abstract
This paper presents Solution Verification exercises with the pressure-based compressible flow solver ReFRESCO for five test cases available in the NASA Turbulence Modeling Resource: the two-dimensional flows over a flat plate, a bump-in-channel, a DSMA661 airfoil and a multi-element airfoil and the three-dimensional flow of a bump-in-channel. Simulations are performed with the Favre-averaged continuity and Navier-Stokes equations using the Spalart & Allmaras turbulence model. ReFRESCO results are compared with reference data from density-based compressible flow solvers (CFL3D and FUN3D). two aspects of the implementation of the turbulence model are addressed: the calculation of the distance to the wall and the discretization scheme used in the convective terms of the turbulence model transport equation. Results of this study show perfect consistency with the reference data for the test cases that are not affected by the determination of the distance to the wall.
