| Abstract | Turbulent backward-facing step flow was examined using four low turbulent Reynolds number k-c models and one standard high Reynolds number technique. A tunnel configuration of 1:9 (step height: exit tunnel height) was used. The models tested include: the original Jones and Launder, Chien; Launder and Sharma; and the recent Shih and Lumley formulation. The experimental reference of Driver and Seegmiller was used to make detailed comparisons between reattachment length, velocity, pressure, turbulent kinetic energy, Reynolds shear stress, and skin friction predictions. The results indicated that the use of a wall function for the standard k-e technique did not reduce the calculation accuracy for this separated flow when compared to the low turbulent Reynolds number techniques. |
