RANS Modeling with Rotation Effect

Turbulent flows in noninertial frames are of considerable interest for practical applications. The research is aimed to understand the mechanics of rotation effect on turbulent flow in the framework of RANS. For the case of fully developed channel flow, several RANS approaches are studied, such as EVM, ARSM and DRSM.
