RSM-RANS Computation of Aircraft Engine Intake U-Duct

The purpose of the present paper is the assessment of wall-topology free second-moment and k " closures for the computation of flows in aircraft engine intake U-duct configurations. It is shown that the wall-normal-free Reynolds-stress model with an optimized redistribution-term closure is in good agreement with experiment, largely improving upon linear 2-equation closure.
