This study tries to estimate flow behavior around a semi-cylindrical turbulence promoter in parallel plates using a low-Reynolds-number one-equation turbulence model proposed by Pei et al. (1999). To take account the effect of multiple walls on the flow field, an effective distance developed by Aragaki et al. (1999) is adopted to modify the normal distance from wall. The equations are solved using finite element method and results are compared with the wall shear stresses measured by using the electrochemical method in the same conditions.
