A modified Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model for turbomachinery wakes

A critical evaluation of the Baldwin-lomax (Bl) turbulence model for shock/shear layer interactions, reversed flow, and curved, asymmetric wakes is made. No general definition for reference line is available for wakes, and difficulties exist for length scale prediction in complex flows. An entrop...
