Abstract

The intermittency profile in the turbulent flat-plate zero pressure-gradient boundary-layer and a thick axisymmetric boundary-layer has been computed using the Reynolds-averaged k-ε-γ model, where k denotes turbulent kinetic energy, ε its rate of dissipation, and γ intermittency. The Reynolds-averaged model is simpler compared to the conditional model used in the literature. The dissipation equation of the Reynolds-averaged model is modified to account for the effect of entrainment. It has been shown that the model correctly predicts the observed intermittency of the flows.
