Johnson-King Turbulence model
 

I'm still hoping someone has an answer to my earlier question: can sigma(x) be less than unity, once the initial convergance criteria (with sigma=1) have been satisfied, or should sigma(x) always be greater than 1? The '87 Johnson paper is not terribly revealing. Is there only me using the JKM these days??

Thanks.

Steve, Take a look at Johnson&King, AIAA J.vol 23 pp.1684-1692. sigma(s) is 1 in equilibrium condition. JK found this value as below as 0.6 and above 1.2 for supercritical airfoil calculations in one of their test cases. Also I found this value between 0.55-1.18 in ONERA M6 AoA=5.06 calculations. sigma(s) could be below or above this eq condition...

Hope this helps, Sener Yilmaz
