Abstract

Numerical simulation of the turbulent boundary layer with an adverse pressure gradient is performed on the basis of a differential three-equation turbulence model. The investigation is carried out for moderate and strong pressure gradients, the latter corresponding to a preseparation boundary layer. The results of the calculations of the mean velocity and the turbulence intensity point to a considerable influence of the adverse pressure gradient and are in agreement with the available experimental data in a wide range of governing parameters.
