Welcome to the world of turbulence glyphs!

Functional Reynolds Stress Modeling (update November, 2010) Information on our book, published in October 2006, includes an overview, the table of contents, comments, corrections, and a list of post-book publications using the MARV Reynolds stress model developed in the book. Temporary Distribution Note: Our book publisher, Mary Holliman, owner of Pocahontas Press, passed away this year. This temporarily leaves us without a formal book distributor. New books are still available. Please contact us at frsmodeling@comcast.net if you are having difficulty obtaining one.

2-d and 3-d applications of the MARV Reynolds stress model

3-D Flow in the VPI Turbine Cascade (November, 2009) The thick inlet boundary layers give a highly 3-d flow with horseshoe and passage vortices. Results using the MARV Reynolds stress model and a 2-Eq. eddy viscosity model are compared with data taken at Virginia Tech in this Langston cascade replica. More results are included in (Abstract) "Reynolds Stress Models - Lecture 3", VKI Lecture Series 2009-08, "Numerical Investigations in Turbomachinery. The State-of-the-Art."

High Turbulence Turbomachinery (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 Notes: AIAA-2009-1332, January 2009 (Abstract) The location of transition on the suction surface for Re=66,000 was verified by comparing with heat transfer data in the literature. AIAA-2010-4314, June 2010 (Abstract) A MARV compatible EVM model for heat transfer gives quantitative results for leading edge heat transfer as well as showing transition.
