An iterative (k‐L)‐predictor/ε‐corrector algorithm for solving (k‐ε) turbulent models

Abstract

The finite element solution of turbulent flows using a (k‐ε) turbulence model usually presents severe numerical difficulties. Develops an iterative (k‐L)‐predictor/ε‐corrector algorithm for overcoming this and solving the (k‐ε) turbulent models. The iterative scheme achieves convergence in L (length scale) which is proportional to (k1.5/ε). Numerical results indicate that the developed iterative algorithm is very robust.
