Review of near-wall treatments
 

Hallo All

Is there anyone how knows of publications comparing the different near-wall treatments (law-of-the-wall, two-layer, low Re etc.) and their ability to predict wall parameters such as wall shear stress, heat transfer or drag coefficients??

Hi, A review about low Re models: Patel, Rodi and Scheuerer, "Turbulence Models for Near-Wall and Low Reynolds Numbers Flows: A Rewiew", AIAA Journal, Vol 23, No 9, pp 1308 - 1319, 1985, Regards,

Hello Bo,

The book by David Wilcox is a good place to Start

Turbulence Modeling for CFD, 2nd Edition. page 185, describes different techiques for Low Re approaches.

Menter also writes some nice papers that are easy to understand,

Comparison of some recent Eddy-viscosity turbulence models. Journal of Fluids Engineering, Transactions of the ASME v 118 n 3 Sep 1996.p 514-519.

I also have a report written by CFX that discusses different wall treatment techniques, for example they discuss something called automatic near wall treatment but then the user should make the correct grid for the correct boundary condition. If you want I can send you this report.

Regards, Kevin

Hallo Kevin

It would be great if you could send me the report. Is it electronic or do you need a normal mail addr.

Regards
