The performances of four low-Reynolds-number models are compared for the unsteady Reynolds-average d Navier–Stokes equations applied to the ow in a channel driven by a pressure gradient oscillating around a nonzero mean. The models considered are the one-equation Spalart–Allmaras model, the k–" model with the wall functions of Lam and Bremhorst, the k–! 2 model of Saffman and Wilcox, and the k–"–v 2 model of Durbin. The results are compared with experiments, direct simulations, and large-eddy simulations. The models give similar and reasonably accurate results as far as predicting the velocity prole in the channel as a func tion of the phase and reproduce the observed behavior during part of the cycle. However, large differences exist between the models themselves, as well as with respect to the large eddy simulations, at the level of the Reynolds shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy, and dissipation rate. The k–"–v2 model is overall superior to the other models considered.
