The calculation of two-dimensional turbulent recirculating flows
Abstract
The solution of two-dimensional, time-averaged conservation equations, in elliptic form, is reported for a range of boundary conditions corresponding to seven practical flow configurations. The solution procedure, which is embodied in the TEACH computer program, is described and numerical tests reported. The calculated properties of the seven flows are compared with experiment and demonstrate that the procedure, with a two-equation turbulence model, provides adequate precision for many engineering applications.
