A way to model the effects of streamwise vortices in a turbulent flow with one homogeneous direction is presented. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a differential Reynolds stress turbulence model. Assuming that the vortices can be approximated with the Lamb-Oseen model, wall-normal Reynolds stress distributions are calculated, corresponding to the spanwise variances of the estimated velocity distribution downstream of the vortex generators. The Reynolds stress contributions that are due to the vortex generators are added to the Reynolds stresses from the turbulence model so as to mimic the increased mixing due to the vortex generators. Volume forces are applied also in the mean momentum equations to account for the drag of the vortex generators. The model is tested and compared with experimental data from a plane asymmetric diffuser flow which is separating without vortex generators. The results indicate that the model is able to mimic the major features of vortex generator fl...
