This paper presents a reformulated version of the author's k-omega model of turbulence. Revisions include the addition of just one new closure coefficient and an adjustment to the dependence of eddy viscosity on turbulence properties. The result is a significantly improved model that applies to both boundary layers and free shear flows and that has very little sensitivity to finite freestream boundary conditions on turbulence properties. The improvements to the k-omega model facilitate a significant expansion of its range of applicability. The new model, like preceding versions, provides accurate solutions for mildly separated flows and simple geometries such as that of a backward-facing step. The model's improvement over earlier versions lies in its accuracy for even more complicated separated flows. This paper demonstrates the enhanced capability for supersonic flow into compression corners and a hypersonic shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction. The excellent agreement is achieved without introducing any compressibility modifications to the turbulence model.
