Numerical investigations of the supersonic flow over a base of cylinder using Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method have been performed in detail in this paper. The flow is along a cylinder axis and separates suddenly at a blunt base corner. The performance of several turbulence models have been examined in this study. They include: Spalart-Allmaras(S-A),k-w, k-w BSL, and k-SST. Some important statistics computed for engineering in the wake region of the flow are compared with the experimental results for the same conditions and configurations. Fork SST turbulence model, the performance of three compressibility models are examined. In addition, the performance of numerical scheme for spatial discretization is examined for the supersonic base flow. In general, k-SST and k-BSL turbulence model perform better in the near wake than S-A and k-model, and predict the base pressure and axial length of the recirculation bubble much better. Three compressibility models for k-SST turbulence model perform much more different, and over-predict or under-predict the base pressure. From the numerical scheme point of view, AUSMPW+ scheme is more suitable for the numerical calculation of the base flow field about the supersonic flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
