Strategies for turbulence modelling and simulations

PR Spalart - International journal of heat and fluid flow, 2000 - Elsevier
This is an attempt to clarify and size up the many levels possible for the numerical prediction
of a turbulent flow, the target being a complete airplane, turbine, or car. Not all the author's …

Detached-eddy simulations past a circular cylinder

A Travin, M Shur, M Strelets, P Spalart - Flow, turbulence and combustion, 2000 - Springer
The flow is calculated with laminar separation (LS) at Reynolds numbers 50,000 and
