Direct Numerical Simulation of Reacting Turbulent Multi-Species Channel Flow

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...

Direct Numerical Simulation of a Sonic Round Jet in a Turbulent Supersonic Cross Flow

A direct numerical simulation of a round under-expanded sonic jet in turbulent supersonic cross flow has been carried out. The objective is to investigate the mixing mechanism which occurs downstream the jet by use of a passive scalar variable. The Navier-Stokes equations in the cylindrical geometry are solved by use of multiblock overlapping meshes. The method has been validated with a laminar...

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...
