The strand-Cartesian grid approach is a unique method of generating and computing fluid dynamic simulations. The strand-Cartesian approach provides highly desirable qualities of fully-automatic grid generation and high-order accuracy. This thesis focuses on the implementation of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model to the strand-Cartesian grid framework. Verification and validation is required to ensure correct implementation of the turbulence model.
Mathematical code verification is used to ensure correct implementation of new algorithms within the code framework. The Spalart-Allmaras model is verified with the Method of Manufactured Solutions (MMS). MMS shows second-order convergence, which implies that the new algorithms are correctly implemented.
