Abstract
This study represents performance tests of a higher-order turbulence closure model for the predictions of turbulent shear flows. Computations of the momentum and temperature fields in the flow domain being considered entail the solutions of the Reynolds-averaged transport equations containing the second-order turbulent fluctuating products. The computations of the Reynolds stresses are performed with three closure models and κ-ε model (one of the Boussinesq viscosity models). The computations of the second-order temperature velocity products are achieved by closing the pressure-heat flux term. These predictions are compared with three sets of experimental data.
