4.2.6 Convection and pressure gradient terms<br />

<strong>The</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> the convective and pressure gradient terms is a very im-<br />

portant feature <strong>of</strong> the AWF, especially in the case <strong>of</strong> the thermal convective<br />

terms. <strong>The</strong>se terms in the momentum and energy equations respectively are:<br />

When the thickness <strong>of</strong> the zeroµt sublayer is less than that <strong>of</strong> the near wall<br />

control volume, there are two regions in the near wall control volume. One is<br />

the zero µt sublayer and the other is the region beyond it. <strong>The</strong>refore there are<br />

two strategies that could be adopted to calculate the convective terms. One<br />

option is to calculate a single <strong>convection</strong> term for the entire control volume
