A rotation-curvature correction suggested earlier by Spalart and Shur (1997, “On the Sensitization of Turbulence Models to Rotation and Curvature,” Aerosp. Sci. Technol., 1(5), pp. 297–302) for the one-equation Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model is adapted to the shear stress transport model. This new version of the model (SST-CC) has been extensively tested on a wide range of both wall-bounded and free shear turbulent flows with system rotation and/or streamline curvature. Predictions of the SST-CC model are compared with available experimental and direct numerical simulations (DNS) data, on the one hand, and with the corresponding results of the original SST model and advanced Reynolds stress transport model (RSM), on the other hand. It is found that in terms of accuracy the proposed model significantly improves the original SST model and is quite competitive with the RSM, whereas its computational cost is significantly less than that of the RSM.
