In this paper, we present a wall model based on a modified version of the Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. Unlike typical wall models, this method avoids the need to query the interior solution by utilizing solution information solely at the boundary, making it well-suited for unstructured grids and mesh adaptation. Furthermore, this wall-modeling method is formulated to lessen the near-wall grid resolution requirements by, below the log layer, making the eddy viscosity approach a constant, nonzero value and the velocity varying approximately linearly with distance from the wall. Using output-based mesh adaptation, this new wall-modeling method is compared to standard Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS-SA). It is shown that this wall model results in accurate predictions of quantities of interest such as aerodynamic coefficients, surface pressure and temperature, skin friction, and heat transfer compared with RANS-SA, while requiring substantially less near-wall grid.
