One-Equation, Two-Equation and Full Reynolds Stress Turbulence Modeling of the BeVERLI Hill Configuration

The BeVERLI Hill configuration has been studied using steady RANS at several tunnel orientations and Reynolds numbers. We report results using a sequence of (supplied) meshes, and five different RANS turbulence models: the standard Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model, a data-augmented Spalart-Allmaras model, the Menter κ - ω SST two-equation model, the Chien κ - ε two-equation model, the seven-equation SSG-LRR Full Reynolds Stress Model (FRSM). Results for the 30° orientation BeVERLI Hill bump are presented at two Reynolds numbers ReH =250000 and 650000 per the “blind" model comparison call for this series of papers, using the data templates provided by Virginia Tech. There is in general good agreements among the two SA models, the SST κ - ω model and the FRSM, with Chien κ - ε model yielding somewhat different results.
