Abstract

This paper describes a full Reynolds stress transport equation model for predicting developing turbulent flow in rectangular ducts. The pressure-strain component of the model is based on a modified form of the Launder, Reece and Rodi pressure-strain model and the use of a linear wall damping function. Predications based on this model are compared with predications referred to high Reynolds number and low Reynolds number {kappa}-{epsilon} transport equation models and with experimental data taken in square and rectangular ducts. The results indicate that the proposed model yields improved predictions of primary flow development and Reynolds stress behavior in a square duct. The proposed model also yields Reynolds stress anisotropy and secondary flow levels that are compatible and agree well with experiment, without recourse to a quadratic damping function to model near-wall pressure-strain behavior.

Prediction of turbulent flow and heat transfer in a ribbed rectangular duct with and without rotation

Journal Article Prakash, C; Zerkle, R - Journal of Turbomachinery

The present study deals with the numerical prediction of turbulent flow and heat transfer in a 2:1 aspect ratio rectangular duct with ribs don the two shorter sides. The ribs are of square cross section, staggered and aligned normal (90 deg) to the main flow direction. The ratio of rib height to duct hydraulic diameter equals 0.063, and the ratio of rib spacing to rib height equals 10. The duct may be stationary or rotating. The axis of rotation is normal to the axis of the duct and parallel to the ribbed walls (i.e., the ribbed walls form the leadingmore »« less

Prediction of turbulent flows in rotating rectangular ducts

Journal Article Younis, B - Journal of Fluids Engineering

This paper reports on progress made in the development of a numerical predictive procedure for turbulent flows in rotating rectangular ducts. The unknown turbulent stresses were approximated with the {kappa}-{epsilon} model of turbulence while Speziale`s (1987) nonlinear stress-strain relationship was utilized to capture the turbulence-driven secondary motions. Data from stationary rectangular ducts of aspect ratios in the range 1:1 to 10:1 were used to check the model. It was found that the occurrence and consequences of these motions were well reproduced. Application of the model to rotating rectangular ducts yielded results which suggest that the interactions between the pressure andmore »« less

Developing buoyancy-modified turbulent flow in ducts rotating in orthogonal mode

Journal Article Bo, T; Iacovides, H; Launder, B - Journal of Turbomachinery

A numerical study of developing flow through a heated duct of square cross action rotating in orthogonal mode is reported. The two main aims are to explore the effects of rotational buoyancy on the flow development and to assess the ability of available turbulence models to predict such flows. Two test cases have been compute corresponding to values of the rotation number, Ro, of 0.12 and 0.24, which are typical of operating conditions in internal cooling passages of gas turbine blades. Computations for three turbulence models are presented: a {kappa}-{epsilon} eddy viscosity (EVM) model matched to a low-Reynolds-number one-equation EVMmore »« less

Developing turbulent flow and heat transfer in a rotating rectangular duct

Thesis/Dissertation Sarunac, N

The effects of rotation on the developing turbulent flow and heat transfer in uniformly heated rectangular duct of 2:1 aspect ratio were investigated theoretically and experimentally with the emphasis on the theoretical part. Finite difference solutions for developing turbulent flow and heat transfer in stationary and axially rotating rectangular ducts were obtained. The computations employed the isotropic k-epsilon model and algebraic stress model of turbulence and a marching technique to integrate the governing equations. Numerical computations were performed first for the nonrotating case, for the square and rectangular geometry. Both turbulence models produced results in general agreement with the experimentalmore »« less
Numerical analysis of turbulent structure through a circular-to-rectangular transition duct

Conference Sugiyama, Hitoshi; Akiyama, Mitsunobu; Hitomi, Daisuke

Numerical analysis is used to investigate three dimensional turbulent structure and fluid flow behavior in a circular-to-rectangular transition duct. The CR transition duct configuration for the present calculation has been shown. In the calculation, an algebraic Reynolds stress model together with a boundary-fitted coordinate system is applied to a circular-to-rectangular duct in order to solve anisotropic turbulent flow precisely. The calculated results are compared with the experimental results to examine the validity of the present method. The compared quantities include the streamwise mean-velocity, transverse mean velocity vectors, mean longitudinal vorticity and components of the Reynolds stress tensor. For example, themore »« less
