contents Accurate prediction of pressure and velocity fluctuations in turbulent flows is essential for understanding flow-induced vibration and structural fatigue. This study investigates the role of turbulence model parameter uncertainty in such predictions using a combination of global sensitivity analysis, surrogate modeling, and Bayesian inference. The methodology is applied to two fluid-only flow cases: turbulent channel flow and turbulent annular flow. In the channel flow case, calibrated parameter distributions lead to improved agreement with reference data. In the annular case, limited parameter identifiability is observed, though predictions remain consistent with high-fidelity trends. The results demonstrate both the potential and limitations of model calibration strategies in wall-bounded turbulent flows.
