Mathematical and numerical analysis of an alternative well-posed two-layer turbulence model
In this article, we wish to investigate the behavior of a two-layer turbulence model from the mathematical point of view, as this model is useful for the near-wall treatment in numerical simulations. First, we explain the difficulties inherent in the model. Then, we present a new variable that enables the mathematical study. Due to a problem of definition of the turbulent viscosity on the wall boundary, we consider an alternative version of the original equation. We show that some physical aspects...
