In computational fluid dynamics simulations of industrial flows, models based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) equations are expected to play an important role in decades to come. However, model uncertainties are still a major…

Data from experiments and direct simulations of turbulence have historically been used to calibrate simple engineering models such as those based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) equations. In the past few years, with the…

Accurate prediction of pressure and velocity fluctuations in turbulent flows is essential for understanding flow-induced vibration and structural fatigue. This study investigates the role of turbulence model parameter uncertainty in such…

Predictive simulation of many complex flows requires moving beyond Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) based models to representations resolving at least some scales of turbulence in at least some regions of the flow. To resolve…

Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations are still the main method to study complex flows in engineering. However, traditional turbulence models cannot accurately predict flow fields with separations. In such situation, machine learning…

The standard $1-$equation model \ of turbulence was first derived by Prandtl and has evolved to be a common method for practical flow simulations. Five fundamental laws that any URANS model should satisfy are \[ \begin{array} [c]{ccc}…

A numerical investigation of the flow evolution over a pitching NACA 0012 airfoil incurring in deep dynamic stall phenomena is presented. The experimental data at Reynolds number Re = 135 000 and reduced frequency k = 0.1, provided by Lee…

The applicability of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based design tools depend on the accuracy and complexity of the physical models, for example turbulence models, which remains an unsolved problem in physics, and rotor models that…

Shallow flows are common in natural and human-made environments. Even for simple rectangular shallow reservoirs, recent laboratory experiments show that the developing flow fields are particularly complex, involving large-scale turbulent…

The Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) models are the most common form of model in turbulence simulations. They are used to calculate Reynolds stress tensor and give robust results for engineering flows. But RANS model predictions have…

The recent 1/2-equation model of turbulence is a simplification of the standard Kolmogorov-Prandtl 1-equation URANS model. Surprisingly, initial numerical tests indicated that the 1/2-equation model produces comparable velocity statistics…

We develop time-series machine learning (ML) methods for closure modeling of the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (URANS) equations applied to stably stratified turbulence (SST). SST is strongly affected by fine balances between…

A simple scheme of forcing turbulence away from decay was introduced by Lundgren some time ago, the `linear forcing', which amounts to a force term linear in the velocity field with a constant coefficient. The evolution of linearly forced…

Solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) closed with an eddy viscosity computed through a turbulence model is still the leading approach for Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. Unfortunately, universal models with…

Linear stability analysis has proven to be a useful tool in the analysis of dominant coherent structures, such as the von K\'{a}rm\'{a}n vortex street and the global spiral mode associated with the vortex breakdown of swirling jets. In…

Numerical models based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are widely used in engineering turbulence modeling. However, the RANS predictions have large model-form uncertainties for many complex flows. Quantification of these…

Turbulent flow has been extensively studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations since turbulent flow regime is so frequently encountered in both academic and engineering applications. The high-fidelity simulation of the…

In the turbulence modeling community, significant efforts have been made to quantify the uncertainties in the Reynolds-Averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) models and to improve their predictive capabilities. Of crucial importance in these…
