<strong>The</strong> performance of the <strong>UMIST</strong>-N near-wall subgrid treatment was tested<br />

in channel flow. <strong>The</strong> PASSABLE code was used <strong>to</strong> implement a parabolic<br />

solution method <strong>to</strong> solve this flow domain. For this work, the PASSABLE<br />

code was extended <strong>to</strong> allow high-Reynolds-number (wall function and sub-<br />

grid) solutions. Also, a separate implementation of the turbulence models<br />

and a separate solver were written <strong>to</strong> be employed in solving the subgrid<br />

region near the wall (extending from y/δ = 0 <strong>to</strong> y/δ = 0.2).<br />

<strong>The</strong> models implemented in the subgrid are the standard k-ε model [33] with<br />

Yap correction [92] and the 1988 k-ω model [89]. PASSABLE supports a<br />

range of turbulence models for the solution of the main grid. <strong>The</strong> models<br />

employed in this work were the low-Reynolds-number k-ε model with Yap<br />

correction, the 1988 k-ω model, and the high-Reynolds-number k-ε model<br />

(newly added). <strong>The</strong> configurations of turbulence models used in this work<br />

are summarised descriptively in Table 5.1.<br />
