      Application of a New Algebraic Structure-Based Model to Rotating Turbulent Flows 

      Langer, C. A.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Haire, S. L. (Elsevier, 2005)
      This chapter discusses application of a new algebraic structure-based model to rotating turbulent flows. A primary goal of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS-based modeling is to determine the Reynolds stress tensor in ...

      ASBM-BSL: An easy access to the structure based model technology 

      Aupoix, B.; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, C. A. (2011)
      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 ...

      Rapid shear of initially anisotropic turbulence in a rotating frame? 

      Akylas, Evaggelos; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, C. A. (2007)
      In the present study, we investigate, using inviscid rapid distortion theory, the evolution of sheared turbulence in a rotating frame as a function of the rotation rate (including stable, transitional, and unstable regimes), ...

      Rapidly sheared homogeneous stratified turbulence in a rotating frame 

      Kassinos, Stavros C.; Akylas, Evaggelos; Langer, C. A. (2007)
      Rapid distortion theory is applied to stratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a rotating frame. Insight into the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of the combined stratification and frame rotation is gained ...

      A simplified structure-based model using standard turbulence scale equations: computation of rotating wall-bounded flows 

      Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, C. A.; Kalitzin, G.; Iaccarino, G. (2006)
      Two linear eddy-viscosity models, the v2-f and k-ω models, have been combined with an algebraic structure-based algorithm for the evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. This closure was originally designed as an integral ...

      Structure and scales in turbulence modeling 

      Reynolds, W. C.; Langer, C. A.; Kassinos, Stavros C. (2002)
      The enstrophy of the large-scale energy-containing turbulence is proposed as the second turbulence scale for use, in conjunction with the turbulence energy, in two-scale one-point engineering turbulence models. Its transport ...
