Abstract
Since validation studies of turbulence models require a great number of comparisons with experimental data, solving the boundary-layer equations is an inexpensive numerical tool by which this validation can be performed. This approach has been used extensively to test six turbulence models applied to transonic shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions: the algebraic models of Michel, Quémard and Durant, of Alber, of Baldwin and Lomax and of Johnson and King, the [k, ε] transport equation model and the ASM.
On the whole, the algebraic models are disappointing, especially in interactions with extensive separation. Introducing a history effect by means of transport equations much improves the prediction of the wall pressure distribution and of the mean velocity profiles. On this point the ASM has the best performance. Deficiencies remain, though, in the computation of the turbulent quantities, as no model is capable of predicting correctly the slow relaxation of the turbulence downstream of the interaction zone.
