Book excerpt: A theoretical model consists of the Reynolds-averaged 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations, with turbulence incorporated using the algebraic turbulent eddy viscosity model of Baldwin and Lomax, This year research efforts focused on both 2-D and 3-D turbulent interactions. A theoretical model was examined for a series of separated 2-D compression corner flows at Mach 2 and 3. Calculations were performed for four separate compression corners using 2-D compressible Navier-Stodes conde with MacCormack's hybrid algorithm. Results were compared to earlier computations using the Beam-Warming algorithm, and recent experiment data for turbulent Reynolds stresses. Calculated Reynolds stresses were observed to differ significantly from experimental measurements due to the inability of the turbulence model to incorporate the multiple scale effects of the turbulence structure downstream of reattachment. Computed results using the MacCormack hybrid algorithm were observed to be insensitive to the Courant number. The 3-D turbulence interactions research concentrated on the 3-D sharp fin and on the 3-D swept compression corner. In the former case, the computed flowfield for the 20 deg sharp fin at Mach 3 and a Reynolds number of 930,000 was compared with the calculated results of Horstman (who used the Jones-Launder turbulence model) and experimental data of the Princeton Gas Dynamics Lab. Overall comparison with experiment was very good.
