Numerical Analysis of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Flow in 180.DEG.-Bent Tube by Low-Reynolds-Number Turbulent Models.

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...

Structure and dynamics of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow.

Using large-scale numerical calculations, we explore the proper orthogonal decomposition of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow, using both the translational invariant (Fourier) method and the method of snapshots. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, making the 'best' choice dependent on the purpose of the analysis. Owing to its construction, the Fourier method includes all the flow fiel...

Surface-sampled simulations of turbulent flow at high Reynolds number

Funding information European Commission Horizon 2020, Grant/Award Number: 671571; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Grant/Award Number: EP/L000261/1 Summary A new approach to turbulence simulation, based on a combination of large eddy simulation (LES) for the whole flow and an array of non–space-filling quasi-direct numerical simulations (QDNS), which sample the respon...

Numerical Analysis of Three-dimensional Turbulent Flow by Finite Element Method and Large Eddy Simulation

Formulation, implementation and applications of a numerical algorithm to simulate turbulent, incompressible, isothermal flows are the main objectives of this work. The transient three-dimensional flow is analyzed using an explicit Taylor-Galerkin scheme and the finite element method with hexahedrical eight-node element. The scheme adopted for turbulence treatment is Large Eddy Simulation. For s...
