چکیده
Abstract This paper presents a systematic study of flow and heat transfer mechanisms in compressor disk cavity with an axial throughflow under centrifugal buoyancy-driven convection, comparing previously published experimental data. Wall-modeled large-eddy simulations (WMLES) are conducted for six operating conditions, covering range rotational Reynolds number (3.2×105−2.2×106), buoyancy parameter (0.11–0.26), Rossby (0.4–0.8). Numerical accuracy computational efficiency the considered. Wall predictions compared measured data good level agreement. A constant rothalpy core occurs at high Eckert number, appearing to reduce driving force. The is turbulent unsteady laminar Ekman layers observed on both disks except bore affected region downstream cob. shroud Nusselt number–Rayleigh scaling agrees that natural convection gravity Rayleigh numbers. Disk dominated by conduction across layers, close pipe forced correlation. structure investigated showing strong unsteadiness extends into throughflow.

متن کاملConvection driven by centrifugal buoyancy in nematics
The onset of thermal convection in a nematic contained in a vertical rotating cylindrical annulus heated from the outside is studied as a function of the planar alignment of the liquid crystal director n. When n is horizontal, the results confirm data on gravitational buoyancy. An original first order like convection mode is obtained when n is parallel to the cylinder axis. Thermal convection i...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Driven Cavity
A numerical approach called “SIMPLER” is used to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square driven cavity. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved and the results are depicted as contour plots of stream function, vorticity, and total pressure for Reynolds numbers from 1 to 10000. At the higher values of Reynolds number, an inviscid core re...
