Formulation of wall boundary conditions in turbulent flow computations on unstructured meshes

Features of the formulation and numerical implementation of wall boundary conditions in turbulent flow computations on unstructured meshes are discussed. A method is proposed for implementing weak wall boundary conditions for a finite-volume discretization of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured meshes. The capabilities of the approach are demonstrated in several gasdynamic simulations in comparison with the method of near-wall functions. The influence of the near-wall resolution on the accuracy of the computations is analyzed, and the grid dependence of the solution is compared in the case of the near-wall function method and weak boundary conditions.
