A Variable Turbulent Schmidt Number Formulation for Scramjet Application

In high speed engines, thorough turbulent mixing of fuel and air is required to obtain high performance and high efficiency. Thus, the ability to predict turbulent mixing is crucial in obtaining accurate numerical simulation of an engine and its performance. Current state of the art in CFD simulation is to assume both turbulent Prandtl number and Schmidt numbers to be constants. However, since ...

Reynolds number dependence of scalar fluctuations in a high Schmidt number turbulent jet

The scalar rms fluctuations in a turbulent jet were investigated experimentally, using highresolution, laser-induced fluorescence techniques. The experiments were conducted in a high Schmidt nuinber fluid (water), on the jet centerline, over a jet Reynolds number range of 3000<Re<24 000. It was found that the normalized scalar rms fluctuations c’/ C decrease with increasing flow Reynolds number...

Eddy viscosity and turbulent Schmidt number by kink-type instability of strong toroidal magnetic fields

The potential of the nonaxisymmetric magnetic instability to transport angular momentum and to mix chemicals is probed considering the stability of a nearly uniform toroidal field between conducting cylinders with different rotation rates. The fluid between the cylinders is assumed as incompressible and to be of uniform density. With a linear theory the neutral-stability maps for m = 1 are comp...

On the Values for the Turbulent Schmidt Number in Environmental Flows

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has consolidated as a tool to provide understanding and quantitative information regarding many complex environmental flows. The accuracy and reliability of CFD modelling results oftentimes come under scrutiny because of issues in the implementation of and input data for those simulations. Regarding the input data, if an approach based on the Reynolds-Averaged...
