John M. Gorman, Suvanjan Bhattacharyya, Lijing Cheng, John Abraham
Abstract
Here we provide an overview of some of the most commonly used turbulence models used in current CFD modeling. We compare the governing equations, applications of use, and results between the models. Finally, we provide our own recommendations, based on more than two decades of collaborative research.
