COMPUTATION OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER FLOWS WITH EQUILIBRIUM AND NONEQUILIBRIUM TURBULENCE MODELS

Two-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer flows over a flat plate were predicted using turbulent boundary layer equations. Reynolds stresses were calculated using Cebeci-Smith, Baldwin-Lomax, and Johnson-King eddy viscosity models. Computational results of mean-flow properties based on Cebeci-Smith model and Baldwin-Lomax model are in excellent agreement with experimental data, and, those based on Johnson-King model are not as accurate as the other two models.
