Two-equation eddy-viscosity turbulence models for engineering applications

Florian Menter · 1 Aug 1994

Two new two-equation eddy-viscosity turbulence models will be presented.They combine different elements of existing models that are considered superior to their alternatives.The first model, referred to as the baseline (BSL) model, utilizes the original k-u model of Wilcox in the inner region of the boundary layer and switches to the standard A>e model in the…

Reassessment of the scale-determining equation for advanced turbulence models

David C. Wilcox · 1 Nov 1988

A comprehensive and critical review of closure approximations for two-equation turbulence models has been made. Particular attention has focused on the scale-determining equation in an attempt to find the optimum choice of dependent variable and closure approximations. Using a combination of singular perturbation methods and numerical computations, this paper demonstrates that: 1) conventional A:-e and…

AIAA Journal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the AIAA Journal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the AIAA Journal template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIAA format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does AIAA Journal use?
AIAA Journal uses Numbered (AIAA) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C., "A Representative Article Title," AIAA Journal, Vol. 12, No. 3, 2023, pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to AIAA Journal?
No. DocuGuru generates the new-aiaa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIAA-ready AIAA Journal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the AIAA Journal template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the AIAA Journal format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is AIAA Journal?
AIAA journal. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by AIAA.
Can I export a submission-ready AIAA Journal PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official AIAA Journal template (the new-aiaa class) that is ready to submit to AIAA, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the AIAA Journal template cost?
You can start writing in the AIAA Journal template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready AIAA Journal PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
