Turbulence Model Implementation in TAU

Abstract

At the present time, aerodynamic analysis and numerical methods are inexorably linked. Thus, a quality control system for the aerodynamic simulation of a complete aircraft in varying configurations is very useful. For this purpose it is critical that suitable turbulence models for the various tasks in hand are available to a prospective user. These models should be robust, and yet sufficiently accurate to enable a proper evaluation of the flow in question. This paper provides an overview of the progress in turbulence model implementation in the TAU code during the duration of the MEGAFLOW project.
