Thus, the ability to predict turbulent mixing is crucial in obtaining accurate numerical simulation of an engine and its performance. Current state of the art in CFD simulation is to assume both turbulent Prandtl number and Schmidt numbers to be constants. However, since the mixing of fuel and air is inversely proportional to the Schmidt number, a value of 0.45 for the Schmidt number will produce twice as much diffusion as that with a value of 0.9. Because of this, current CFD tools and models have not been able to provide the needed guidance required for the efficient design of a scramjet engine. The goal of this investigation is to develop the framework needed to calculate turbulent Prandtl and Schmidt numbers as part of the solution. This requires four additional equations: two for the temperature variance and its dissipation rate and two for the concentration variance and its dissipation rate. In the current investigation emphasis will be placed on studying mixing without reactions. For such flows, variable Prandtl number does not play a major role in determining the flow. This, however, will have to be addressed when combustion is present. The approach to be used is similar to that used to develop the k-zeta model. In this approach, relevant equations are derived from the exact Navier-Stokes equations and each individual correlation is modeled. This ensures that relevant physics is incorporated into the model equations. This task has been accomplished. The final set of equations have no wall or damping functions. Moreover, they are tensorially consistent and Galilean invariant. The derivation of the model equations is rather lengthy and thus will not be incorporated into this abstract, but will be included in the final paper.

Careful investigation of the data suggested that the diffusion term in the k equation behaves differently in the presence and absence of unfavorable pressure gradients. This led to the conclusion that an important diffusion mechanism was missing from the k equation and a new diffusion model was proposed. The results of the new theory indicate marked improvement when compared with the data for strong adverse pressure gradient flows. Moreover, the new theory reproduces Strafford's limit of velocity in a region of vanishing shear sn'ess. However, because subsonic and supersonic boundary layers act differently in the presence of an adverse pressure gradient, no adjustments in the diffusion term is recommended for supersonic flows in the presence of mild adverse pressure gradients. It is a known fact that traditional turbulence models are somewhat inadequate when it comes to predicting flows with an adverse pressure gradient I. This is a result of prevailing modeling practices. Whether we deal with one-equation, two-equation, or a su'ess model, current modeling does not address situations where adverse pressure gradients play a role. Thus, we use results from the decay of homogeneous turbulence, the log-law region, and asymptotic expansions along turbolent-nonturbulent boundaries to determine model constants 1. There is no reason to expect that such practices will produce turbulence models that are valid in the presence of unfavorable pressure gradients. * Research Assistant, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Student Member AIAA. t Professor. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Associate Fellow AIAA. Copyright © 1996 American lnstitum of Aeronautics and Aslxonautics, Inc. All rights reserved. The situation has changed recently with the availability of well documented incompressible experiments describing equilibrium boundary layers near separation 2"3. As is shown in Ref. 3, the diffusion term in the k equation behaves differently in the presence and absence of pressure gradients. This led us to the conclusion that an important diffusion mechanism is missing from the k equation. The objective of this investigation is to show that there is indeed a missing term resulting from the traditional neglect of the term _ , where p'and u[are the pressure and velocity fluctuations. Moreover, it results in improved agreement between theory and experiment for low speed flows. However, subsonic and supersonic boundary layers are known 4 to behave differently in the presence of adverse pressure gradients. As a result, a modification like the one suggested here is not expected to apply for all Mach numbers. It has been suggested that compt_sion associated with an adverse pressure gradi_ is associated with an increase in skin friction and a decrease in boundary layer thickness at supenmnic speeds. This would suggest that some modification of the proposed turbulence model is required. While examining the experiment of Fernando and Stairs 5, we discovered that a traditional k-co model was quite satisfactory. As a result, it is concluded that adjustment in the diffusion term is only required for subsonic flows. The application of an adverse pressure gradient on a wall bounded flow promotes separation of the boundary layer. Thus, we use the theoretical behavior of turbulent boundary layers near separation to investigate current modeling practice. The only term that requires modeling in the k equation is the diffusion term 1.
