Computer simulation of physical processes including modeling of laminar-to-turbulent transition
A method for simulating a fluid flow that includes a laminar to turbulent boundary layer transition on a computer, the method comprising: for one or more locations on or near a boundary surface: performing a first calculation where a local boundary layer is taken to be a laminar boundary layer; performing a second calculation where the local boundary layer is taken to be a turbulent boundary layer; comparing a result from the first calculation to a result from the second calculation; and based on the comparing, selecting the result of the first calculation or the result of the second calculation; and inputting the selected result for the one or more locations into a simulation of activity of a fluid in a volume comprising the boundary surface.
