Abstract

An anisotropic two-equation model is developed through a novel technique that involves the representation of the energy spectrum and invariance based scaling. In this approach the effect of rotation is used to modify the energy spectrum, while the influence of swirl is modeled based on scaling laws. The resulting generalized two-equation turbulence model is validated for several benchmark turbulent flows with swirl and curvature.
