Axisymmetric Separated Boundary Layer Validation Case
Wilcox2006-klim-m Model Results
Link to Wilcox2006-klim-m equations
Previously on this page the results were reported as Wilcox2006-klim solutions, but more properly they should be referred
to as Wilcox2006-klim-m. Essentially no difference is expected.
Note that thorough
grid studies were not performed for validation cases such as this one.
Some effort was made to ensure reasonable grid resolutions, but there may still be
small noticeable discretization errors. Therefore, these validation results shown should be considered
representative, but not "truth."
Wilcox2006-klim-m results are shown for
CFL3D and FUN3D on the second-finest grid (713x193). Results are nearly identical.
Both codes used freestream turbulence intensity=0.088% and freestream turbulent viscosity (relative to laminar)=0.009
(additional details can be found in the CFL3D User's Manual, Appendix H).
Please read note 5 on Notes on running CFD page.
Note that these are compressible code results at "essentially incompressible" conditions of M=0.08812.
There may be a very small influence of compressibility.
The data files from CFL3D are given here:
driver_cfl3d_cp_w06.dat,
driver_cfl3d_cf_w06.dat,
driver_cfl3d_vel_w06.dat,
driver_cfl3d_uv_w06.dat.
(Note: the profiles have been interpolated using Tecplot software onto pre-set points, that may or may
not correspond to the actual grid points or grid cells used in the computation.)
A typical CFL3D input file is:
driver_cfl3d_typical_w06.inp.
A typical FUN3D input file is:
fun3d.nml_typical_w06_2.
Note that prior to 04/04/2014, only Wilcox2006-klim-noPope results were posted (and were
incorrectly labeled as Wilcox2006); but the Pope correction term
has a rather significant effect for this case, as shown in the current figures
(results with Wilcox2006-klim-noPope are generally worse).
Note that this model is currently assigned
MRR Level 2 for the purposes of this website.
This is because at this time the TMBWG has results for this model
from two different codes from the same home organization.
The results on this page are therefore not necessarily
reliable until additional independent code(s) can be used to verify the model implementation.
