Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Channel Flow with Periodic Pressure Gradient.

Numerical Simulation of Micropolar Flow in a Channel under Osciatory Pressure Gradient

We numerically investigate the pulsatile flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a Darcy-Forchhmeir porous channel in the presence of wall transpiration. We use the central difference approximations for the spatial derivatives, whereas the time integration has been performed by employing the three steps explicit Runge-Kutta method to obtain the numerical solution. It i...

Numerical simulation of pulsating turbulent channel flow

Direct and large-eddy simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations are used to study the pulsating flow in a channel. The cases examined span a wide range of frequencies of the driving pressure gradient, and encompass different physical behaviors, from the quasi-Stokes flow observed at high frequencies, to a quasisteady behavior at the lowest ones. The validity of the dynamic Smagorinsky model to...

investigation of turbulent kinetic energy redistribution in a channel flow using direct numerical simulation

in this study, the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution process is investigated. to this aim, the direct numerical simulation (dns) of incompressible flow of a newtonian fluid through a channel at a shear reynolds number of reτ = 180 is used to produce a flow data base. then, these data are statistically analyzed. the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution is studied using the pressure-stra...
