Implementation of an anisotropic turbulence model in the COMMIX- 1C/ATM computer code

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10167102

The computer code COMMIX-1C/ATM, which describes single-phase, three-dimensional transient thermofluiddynamic problems, has provided the framework for the extension of the standard k-{var_epsilon} turbulence model to a six-equation model with additional transport equations for the turbulence heat fluxes and the variance of temperature fluctuations. The new, model, which allows simulation of anisotropic turbulence in stratified shear flows, is referred to as the Anisotropic Turbulence Model (ATM) has been verified with numerical computations of stable and unstable stratified shear flow between parallel plates.
