Base e ows are an important subject of theoretical studies due to the determinant role of the rear part of projectiles, missiles, or launchers in their e ight capabilities. The problem of accurately predicting the aerothermal e elds in which they are embedded is still not satisfactorily solved by current theoretical methods. However, such e ows are very useful test cases for improving turbulence modeling because they incorporate nearly all of the fundamental problems that can be encountered in supersonic turbulent e ows submitted to strong viscous interactions. Axisymmetriccone gurationsareappreciableforperforming numerousparametricalstudiesofmodelsdueto their rigorous two dimensionality. In this framework, a theoretical examination of the k‐! model is performed, and its principal distinguishing characteristics with respect to k‐" models are used to establish a k‐ae model whosesecond variable has a simple physical interpretation. A closeexamination of the predictivecapabilities of thesethree types of models is done in comparison with the well documented and largely accepted database from the experiments of Herrin and Dutton (Herrin, J. L., and Dutton, J. C., “ Supersonic Base Flow Experiments in the Near Wake of a Cylindrical Afterbody,” AIAA Paper 93-2924, July 1993 ). In particular, the evolution of the e uctuating quantities predicted by the models in separated e ow are given in detail. The results obtained prove that the simulation of separated e ows with two-equation turbulence models is still promising in the framework of Reynolds averaged Navier‐Stokes calculations.
