Separated flow past a hump in a turbulent boundary layer is studied numerically using detached-eddy simulation (DES), zonal detached-eddy simulation (ZDES), delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES), and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) modeling. The geometry is smooth so the separation point is a function of the flow solution. Comparisons to experimental data show that RANS with the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model predicts the mean-field statistics well. The ZDES and DDES methods perform better than the DES formulation and are comparable to RANS in most statistics. Analyses motivate that modeled-stress depletion near the separation point contributes to differences observed in the DES variants. The order of accuracy of the flow solver ACUSOLVE is also documented.
