Abstract
Results from testing of a simple model in a wind tunnel are used to va lidate two computational fluid dynamics mathematical models. The resul ts show that only the Reynolds-stress model provides a reasonably accu rate representation of the internal flow, and that both models fail to predict the flow at the opening of the model.
