Conclusions

The present SALSA model provides improved results for non-equilibrium flows while grossly retaining the performance of the SA(E) model in simple boundary-layer and free-shear flows. Although the model can not be considered universal it might serve as good extension of the one-equation modeling framework towards non-equilibrium flows. The suggested sensitization of $ \tilde C_{b1}$ to variable strain rates is comparatively compact and can easily be implemented in existing codes. Additional corrections, e.g a trip function included or a curvature correction [7], should remain uninfluenced, but have not been validated with the proposed modifications.
