Cover Story: Stenoses are commonly found in biological systems and present complex flow physics that are challenging to capture. An accurate representation of stenotic flow is crucial; however, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes models have shown variability in their flow predictions. The GEKO model offers flexibility through its adjustable parameters without affecting the underlying empirical turbulence model constants. In this study, we investigate how the GEKO model parameters affect the flow field for a range of stenosis geometries at Reynolds numbers of 1000 and 2000. The results are compared with previously published experimental data and demonstrate significant improvements over commonly used turbulence models, indicating that the GEKO model can yield more precise flow predictions in similar geometries.
