The incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used to calculate two-dimensional turbulent wall-jet flows. The algebraic eddy viscosity model of Baldwin-Lomax, and the two layer k-ε turbulence model of Chen and Patel are modified and adopted for the present calculation. The results for these models are then compared with experimental data. Calculations are carried out for three cases: plane wall jet with and without ambient flow and curved wall jet. The results of both turbulence models are in good agreement with the data in the case of plane wall jet with ambient flow. For the plane jet with stagnant surrounding, the two-layer k-ε model performs better than algebraic eddy viscosity model. Due to the curvature effect, neither model is quite satisfactory in the curved wall jet case. However, the two layer k-ε model appears to be much better than the other."
