Title: Turbulence modeling: Near-wall turbulence and effects of rotation on turbulence
Abstract: Many Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solvers use closure models in conjunction with 'the law of the wall', rather than deal with a thin, viscous sublayer near the wall. This work is motivated by the need for better models to compute near wall turbulent flow. The authors use direct numerical simulation of fully developed channel flow and one of three dimensional turbulent boundary layer flow to develop new models. These direct numerical simulations provide detailed data that experimentalists have not been able to measure directly. Another objective of the work is to examine analytically the effects of rotation on turbulence, using Rapid Distortion Theory (RDT). This work was motivated by the observation that the pressure strain models in all current second order closure models are unable to predict the effects of rotation on turbulence.
