Comparison of low Reynolds number turbulence and conjugate heat transfer modelling for pin-fin roughness elements

چکیده
This study contrasts Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and (Numerical) Large-Eddy Simulation (NLES) for their use in predicting conjugate heat transfer a low Reynolds number flow over surface roughness element. The (N)LES predictions are good agreement with experimental data, the estimate is within 7.7% error. linear RANS model shows larger errors up to 40%, especially modelling turbulent stresses. Using one-equation LES turbulence slightly increases prediction compared numerical LES. indicates that more advanced models might not give accurate predictions. Additionally, this investigates time dependant development of temperature fields how long data needs be collected statistically stationary results. develop approximately 1800 through-flow times, TL, 150 TL required collection statistics. A significant range length scale between was found. scales appeared physically reasonable should inform mesh resolution future studies. Two additional cases were run different cube heights showing changes field greater sensitivity modelling.

Numerical Predictions of Turbulent Mixed Convection Heat Transfer to Supercritical Fluids Using Various Low Reynolds Number k-e Turbulence Models
There are a number of systems in which supercritical cryogenic fluids are used as coolants or propellant fluids. In some modern military aircraft, the fuel is pressurized above its critical point and used as a coolant to remove heat from the aircraft engine. Accurate prediction of heat transfer coefficients to turbulent flows of supercritical fluids is essential in design of such systems. One o...
متن کاملTurbulence Modelling of Deep Dynamic Stall at Low Reynolds Number
The unsteady separated turbulent flow around an oscillating airfoil pitching in a sinusoidal pattern in the regime of low Reynolds number is investigated numerically employing the URANS approach with two advanced turbulence models, namely the RNG kmode and Transition SST model, and the DES approach based on the SST kmodel. A comparison with experimental data shows that the SST kbased D...
متن کاملSimulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...
متن کاملTurbulence Model Selection for Low Reynolds Number Flows
One of the major flow phenomena associated with low Reynolds number flow is the formation of separation bubbles on an airfoil's surface. NACA4415 airfoil is commonly used in wind turbines and UAV applications. The stall characteristics are gradual compared to thin airfoils. The primary criterion set for this work is the capture of laminar separation bubble. Flow is simulated for a Reynolds numb...
متن کاملSurface Roughness Effects in Low Reynolds Number Channel Flows (Preprint)
Rarefied helium and nitrogen flow expanding into vacuum through 150μm high and 1.5 cm long channels is studied experimentally and numerically with the DSMC method. Different types of channel walls are examined, both polished and rough with well characterized roughness shaped as triangles and rectangles. The pressure varies from 200 to 13,000 Pa, with the gas mean free path being both much large...
