LaTeX equation rendering is currently broken in CFD-Wiki. We will fix it asap.

Welcome to CFD-Wiki - a community project to create the ultimate, free Computational Fluid Dynamics reference. CFD-Wiki is written by thousands of volunteer authors from around the globe. Please join us and contribute something today! CFD-Wiki will never be better than the information we all fill it with. We are currently working on 570 articles. Also please help to spread the word about CFD-Wiki by using the tell a friend tool or linking to CFD-Wiki.

Baldwin-Lomax model

The Baldwin-Lomax model is a classical algebraic turbulence model which is suitable for high-speed flows with thin attached boundary-layers, typically present in aerospace and turbomachinery applications. The Baldwin-Lomax model is not suitable for cases with large separated regions and significant curvature/rotation effects... more

This article is a good example of a description of a turbulence model. Validation and test cases is the current focus area of CFD-Wiki. So don't hesitate, write something about your favourite test or validation case today!
