Abstract
In this study, a boundary layer flow over a flat plate is investigated numerically at constant inlet freestream velocity and turbulence intensity. After intensive mesh refinements, an adequate computational domain is determined. Four turbulence models (k-epsilon, k-omega, k-omega SST, Transition SST) are used to analyze the boundary layer flow. Local surface friction coefficient distribution is obtained and compared to each other to assess the most convenient turbulence model. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results show that the Transition SST turbulence model demonstrates the most realistic surface friction coefficient (Cf) distribution in agreement with the experimental data. Additionally; the effects of constant heat fluxes on Cf values are investigated and it is found that the heating process moves transition backward compared to isothermal case. Moreover, it is fount that Cf values in the turbulent region decrease compared to isothermal case.
