Welcome to the world of turbulence glyphs!

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.

Functional Reynolds Stress Modeling Information on our book, published in October 2006 - includes overview, table of contents, comments, corrections ( Feb 2008) and answers to questions.

The Tree of Turbulence Glyphs May your turbulence be calmed by the understanding of stresses. Our 2006 tree was decorated with turbulence glyphs to celebrate the publication of our book. Click here for the technical description.
