This paper presents experimental and numerical analysis of grid generated turbulence with and without the effects of applied mean strain. We conduct a series of experiments on decaying grid generated turbulence and grid turbulence with mean strain. Experimental data of turbulence statistics including Reynolds stress anisotropies is collected, analyzed and then compared to the predictions of Reynolds Stress Models to assess their accuracy. The experimental data is used to evaluate the variability in the coefficients of the rate of dissipation model and the pressure strain correlation models used in Reynolds Stress Modeling. For both models we recommend optimal values of coefficients that should be used for experimental studies of grid generated turbulence.
