Analysis of Mixing Layer by Rate‐Dependent Turbulence Model
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 119, Issue 8
Abstract
The recently developed turbulence model, which provides a rate‐dependent algebraic expression for the Reynolds stress tensor, is briefly reviewed. The modified TEACH code, which incorporates the new rate‐dependent model, is described. The turbulent flow fields in a two‐stream mixing layer is predicted and the results are compared with the available experimental data and those obtained from the earlier model and discussed. It is shown that the new model is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data and is somewhat superior to the earlier and algebraic stress models.
