CMOTT Turbulence Module for NPARCThis is a user's manual of the CMOTT turbulence module, version 2.0, developed for the NPARC code. The module is written in a self-contained manner so that the user can use any turbulence model in the module without concern as to how it is implemented and solved. Three two-equation turbulence models have been built into the module: Chien, Shih-Lumley and CMOTT models, and all of them have both the low Reynolds number and wall function options. Unlike Chien's model, both the Shih-Lumley and CMOTT models do not involve the dimensionless wall distance y(sup +) in the low Reynolds number approach, an advantage for separated flow calculations. The Van Driest transformation is used so that the wall functions can be applied to both incompressible and compressible flows. The manual gives the details of the turbulence models used and their numerical implementation. It also gives two application examples, one for subsonic and the other for transonic flow, for demonstration. The module can be easily linked to the NPARC code for practical applications.
