Simulation of stationary and incompressible turbulent flow between two parallel flat plates at Reynolds number 42800. A fully developed turbulent velocity profile is formed at the outflow boundary which can be compared to experimental results (Laufer, J. 1950).
This example uses both the built-in algebraic mixing length turbulence model, as well as shows how to implement custom user-defined modeling expressions.
This model is available as an automated tutorial by selecting Model Examples and Tutorials… > Fluid Dynamics > Turbulent Channel Flow from the File menu, and also as the MATLAB simulation m-script example ex_navierstokes17. Step-by-step tutorial instructions to set up and run this model are linked below.
