The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results were validated quantitatively and qualitatively with the experimental results (using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)). The standard k-ε adopted curvature correction and enhanced wall treatment of y+ â?? 1.2â??1.7 appears as the best validated model, producing minimal deviation with comparable flow structures to the experimental cases. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017.
