Modifications to Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models for the wind flow over buildings
The standard k–ε turbulence model is well known to perform poorly in the stagnation regions in front of buildings where it over-predicts the turbulent kinetic energy, k. It is less well known that this error is compounded by an excess decay of the turbulence over and behind a building so that k is e...
