RANS turbulence modeling validation and prospects for improvement

Kurzfassung

This forum across the experimental and computational domains has been created under a joint Technical Committee (GT and APA) Focus Group. The goal is to integrate the use of empirical ground test research results and CFD simulations to improve accuracy and optimize product development. In this session, several panelists will discuss the current state and future of CFD turbulence modeling. In particular, what are the limitations of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models, and what are their prospects for future improvement? How can wind tunnel experiments be used to improve turbulence models? How can model errors and uncertainties be better quantified? The panelists will share their perspectives, followed by general Q&A and discussions.
