EUROVAL — An European Initiative on Validation of CFD Codes

This volume contains contributions to the BRI-TE/EURAM, Area 5, Pilot phase programme on the validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes, EUROVAL. Two- and three-dimensional flows are investigated with particular emphasis on precise comparison against measurements, with special attention paid to the validation of turbulence models investigated by the 16 project partners. The main part of this volume is designated to the validation of turbulence models on a boundary layer and Navier-Stokes basis, presented in an application-oriented structure for single- and two-element aerofoils, internal flow over bumps, wind-tunnel-interference problems and a vortex breakdown study.
