Motivation RANS turbulence models are known to be inaccurate in
separated and other non-equilibrium flows!
LES provides better accuracy for separated flows but it is computationally too expensive for high Re flows!
Hybrid LES-RANS combine the advantage of RANS and LES:
RANS used only very close to the wall (cheap) LES used away from the wall in recirculation region
(accurate)

So far hybrid models are based on eddy-viscosity RANS models:
Question: Is it beneficial to use a Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) in a hybrid RANS-LES context?
Possible benefits:
More accurate description of the RANS near wall region
Better representation of modeled stresses in the energy containing scales
Smoother transition from RANS to LES

Approach: use a RANS Reynolds stress model that does not rely on Re to describe closeness to wall
doesn't involve wall distance or geometric wall information
is not too complex to implement
Wall treatment Candidates: Elliptic relaxation model (Durbin)
Six additional elliptic equations Elliptic blending model (Hanjalić & Manceau, Thielen et al.)
One additional elliptic equation, slightly less accurate

5. Conclusions/Outlook
The RSMeb model performs better than SST in these two cases where
flow separation and reattachment exist (as it should!)
Elliptic equation to describe near wall distance works well!
Computational cost increased by 70%
More tests: other methods, higher Re, more complex flows will give a
clearer picture about the relative benefits of the RSMeb model
We will use RSMeb model in a hybrid LES-RANS method to better
capture the separation/reattachment !
