Abstract

The Algebraic Structure Based Model (ASBM) offers unique features to represent the Reynolds stress tensor from the underlying turbulent structures. It is usually coupled with a non standard length scale equation. A way of coupling it with the more popular BSL ω equation is proposed here. Only a minor modification of the ω equation is required to obtain a realistic turbulent kinetic energy profile and thus achieve fair predictions.
