Abstract

This paper provides a roughness correction to the latest version of Wall-Distance-Free Wray-Agarwal (WA) one equation turbulence model (WA2018). The results from WA 2018 rough wall model are compared to Spalart-Allmaras model with roughness and the previous version of WA model (WA2017) with roughness. The results from WA2018-Rough model for flow over a flat plate show substantial improvement from the previous version WA2017-Rough and a good agreement with a semi-empirical formula based on experimental results. For flow past a S809 airfoil with surface roughness, WA2018-Rough model performs quite well compared to SA-Rough model. In case of fully developed turbulent flow in a rough-wall channel, WA2018-Rough model has an overall better performance than SA-Rough model. It is demonstrated that the WA2018 – Rough model has good computational accuracy compared to the two other models considered.
