Collaborative testing of turbulence modelsA review is given of an ongoing international project, in which data from experiments on, and simulations of, turbulent flows are distributed to developers of (time-averaged) engineering turbulence models. The predictions of each model are sent to the organizers and redistributed to all the modelers, plus some experimentalists and other experts (total approx. 120), for comment. The 'reaction time' of modelers has proved to be much longer than anticipated, partly because the comparisons with data have prompted many modelers to improve their models or numerics.
