High Turbulence Turbomachinery ( updated August 2008)
The MARV Reynolds stress (7 equation) turbulence model, developed in our book Functional Reynolds Stress Modeling, is applied to the Langston turbine cascade with an inlet turbulence intensity of 9% over a broad range in Reynolds number. Update Note.The first version of this webpage was put out in April, 2008. It has now been revised since we found an error in the evaluation of the pressure-strain rapid distortion parameter in the implementation of the MARV model in our 3-d code used for these calculations. The error affected mainly the outer parts of boundary layers so that quantitatively the Reynolds number marking the shift from separated to attached flow on the suction surface increased from 30,000 to 50,000. Qualitatively the overall results and conclusions are unchanged. |
