Abstract A new wall boundary condition for the standard Wilcox’s k–ω model (1988) is proposed. The model combines a wall function and a low-Reynolds number approach, and a function that smoothly blends the two formulations, enabling the model to be used independently of the location of the first interior computational node. The model is calibrated using DNS-data for a channel flow and applied to a heat transfer prediction for a flow in a rib-roughened channel (Reb = 100 000). The results obtained with the new model are improved for various mesh sizes and are asymptotically identical with those of the standard k–ω turbulence model.
