In a recent paper [Phys. Fluids A 2, 1678 (1990)], the authors compared the performance of a variety of turbulence models including the K-ε model and the second-order closure model derived by Yakhot and Orszag based on renormalization group (RNG) methods. The performance of these RNG models in homogeneous turbulent shear flow was found to be quite poor, apparently due to the value of the constant Cε1 in the modeled dissipation rate equation, which was substantially lower than its traditional value. However, recently a correction has been made in the RNG-based calculation of Cε1. It is shown herein that, with the new value of Cε1, the performance of the RNG K-ε model is substantially improved. On the other hand, while the predictions of the revised RNG second-order closure model are better, some lingering problems still remain that can be remedied by the addition of higher-order terms.
