IMPLEMENTATION OF A TWO-FLUID TURBULENCE MODEL IN THE COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS SOFTWARE PACKAGE

Abstract

This article examines the feasibility of implementing a new two-fluid turbulence model in the COMSOL Multiphysics software package. This program is a powerful mathematical tool for solving various CFD engineering problems. One distinguishing feature of this program compared to other similar CFD packages is the ability to implement a new model by writing differential equations directly into mathematics interface. To validate the model, a problem of turbulent flow past a flat plate is considered, and the results are compared with known experimental data presented by NACA.
