Two-equation eddy-viscosity turbulence models for engineering applications
1994 · AIAA Journal · DOI 10.2514/3.12149

Two new two-equation eddy-viscosity turbulence models will be presented.They combine different elements of existing models that are considered superior to their alternatives.The first model, referred to as the baseline (BSL) model, utilizes the original k-u model of Wilcox in the inner region of the boundary layer and switches to the standard A>e model in the outer region and in free shear flows.It has a performance similar to the Wilcox model, but avoids that model's strong freestream sensitivity.The second model results from a modification to the definition of the eddy-viscosity in the BSL model, which accounts for the effect of the transport of the principal turbulent shear stress.The new model is called the shear-stress transport-model and leads to major improvements in the prediction of adverse pressure gradient flows.
