Abstract In the present paper, the characteristics of compressible turbulent flow in a porous channels subjected to either symmetric or asymmetric mass injection are numerically predicted. A numerical computer-program including different turbulence models has been developed by the present authors to investigate the considered flow. The numerical method is based on the control volume approach to solve the governing Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Turbulence modeling plays a significant role here, in light of the complex flow generated, so several popular engineering turbulence models with good track records are evaluated, including five different turbulence models.
