Summary on Grant Application Form
A numerical procedure is to be developed for modelling geometrically and physically complex two- and three-dimensional turbulent, mainly incompressible flows. This would combine and unstructured finite-volume discretisation strategy with variants of second-movement closure for high-Re and low-Re conditions. The principal objective is to investigate the predictive capabilities of evolving turbulence models, based on second-moment closure, in configuration which cannot be adequately resolved with a single-block structured method. Hence, while the emphasis of the proposal is on the evolution of the numerical framework and the careful integration of transport models of turbulence therein, this framework is viewed firmly as a vehicle for investigating challenging physical processes which are sensitive to the details of the turbulence structure and its modelling.
