Abstract : An assessment of two-equation turbulence models, the low Reynolds k-ε and k-ω SST models, with the compressibility
corrections proposed by Sarkar and Wilcox, has been performed. The compressibility models are evaluated by investigating
transonic or supersonic flows, including the arc-bump, transonic diffuser, supersonic jet impingement, and unsteady
supersonic diffuser. A unified implicit finite volume scheme, consisting of mass, momentum, and energy conservation
equations, is used, and the results are compared with experimental data. The model accuracy is found to depend strongly on
the flow separation behavior. An MPI (Message Passing Interface) parallel computing scheme is implemented.
