Mathematical aspects of turbulence viscosity models for established flow in a planar duct
Abstract
The statistical averaged Navier-Stokes equations are treated where the Reynolds stress is expressed by a viscosity coefficient of turbulence. Two models are presented, where one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic problems are dealt with. The first viscosity model is based on the flow mean velocity in the duct, while the latter, more complex, takes into account the friction velocity at the wall. Mathematical results concerning existence and uniqueness are presented.
