However, with the development of aero-space technology, turbulence modeling faces new challenges. How to further improve turbulence modeling for su-per/hypersonic flows is an urgent problem. Through analyzing a set of data resulting from DNS and experiments, it is foundthat some most popular models suffer from essential flaws, and can be hardly improved following the traditional mode ofthinking. On the contrary, the BL model, which is one of the simplest and widely-used models, can be further improved. In thispaper, through analyzing results from DNS data, the main cause of the inaccuracy in applying the BL model to supersonic andhypersonic turbulent boundary layers is found to have resulted from the mismatch between the location of the matching pointof the inner and outer layers of the BL model determined by the conventional way and those given by DNS. Improvement onthis point, as well as other improvements is proposed. Its effectiveness is verified through the comparison with DNS results.展开更多

First we illustrate some properties of BL-GARCH (1, 2) model, like the positivity, stationarity and marginal distribution;then we study the statistical inference, apply the composite likelihood on panel of BL-GARCH (1, 2) model, and study the asymptotic behavior of the estimators, like the consistency property and the asymptotic normality.展开更多
