Abstract

A modified STRUCT (MST) turbulence model for efficient engineering computations of turbulent flows in hydro-energy machinery is proposed in this paper. The MST model switches between URANS and LES-like modes using a new damping function to adjust the turbulent viscosity. Compared with the original S...
