An extended κ–ϵ finite element model

An extended κ–? model (to include low-Reynolds-number regions) employing weighting functions is presented. Wall functions for the near-wall zones are developed giving correct boundary values for the Shear stress and κ–?. A finite element model using a penalty formulation for incompressible turbulent flow is applied to Solve a flow between two plates. Results with mesh boundaries situated in the near-wall region and a: the wall are compared with measured values.
