Triple-velocity products in a channel with a backward-facing step
Abstract
Attention is given to the evaluation of tripple velocity products in the reattaching and developing region behind a backward facing step. The change in tripple velocity products is significant in the wake region, yielding substantial variation in the diffusion rate of the Reynolds stresses. Four models of the third-order closure are examined, and the results are compared with the experimental data for Chandrsuda and Bradshaw (1980).
