Effects of Turbulence Modeling on RANS Simulations of Tip Vortices
The primary purpose of this thesis is to quantify the effects of RANS turbulence modeling on the resolution of free shear vortical flows. The simulation of aerodynamic wing-tip vortices is used as a test bed. The primary configuration is flow over an isolated finite wing with aspect ratio, , and R...
