An evaluation of the capability of turbulence models for their application to hydrofoil steady flow at high Reynolds numbers was presented. Three widely applied two-equation RANS turbulence models were assessed by means of comparison with experimental data at Reynolds numbers of 7.0×105. They were the standard k-ε model, the RNG k-ε model and the realizable k-ε model. The SIMPLEC algorithm was applied for the solution of the governing equations. It has been found that the realizable k-ε turbulence model used with enhanced wall functions and near-wall modeling techniques consistently provided superior performance in predicting the flow characteristics around the hydrofoil. 
