Explicit algebraic Reynolds stress models (EARSM) represent
an extension of the standard two-equation models. They are derived
from the Reynolds stress transport equations and give a nonlinear
relation between the Reynolds stresses and the mean strain-rate and
vorticity tensors. Due to the higher order terms many flow phenomena
are included in the model without the need to solve transport equations.
The EARSM is an extension of the current and BSL model
to capture effects of secondary flows and of flows with streamline
curvature and system rotation. For details, see Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Model in the CFX-Solver Theory Guide.
