چکیده
We derive a kinetic equation for flows on general, unstructured networks with applications to production, social and transportation networks. This model allows for a homogenization procedure, yielding a macroscopic transport model for large networks on large time scales.

Numerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model
Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

Large eddy simulation (LES) using the dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM) (Germano et al., 1991) and discretely kinetic energy conserving numerical methods (Mahesh et al., 2004) has successfully predicted complex flows such as gas turbine combustors and marine propulsor crashback (e.g. Vyšohlid and Mahesh (2005); Chang et al. (2008); Jang and Mahesh (2010, 2012); Verma et al. (2012)). This paper di...
متن کاملLarge-Time Behavior of Averaged Kinetic Models on Networks
We are interested in flows on general networks and derive a kinetic equation describing general production, social or transportation networks. Corresponding macroscopic transport equations for large time and homogenized behavior are obtained and studied numerically. This work continues a recent discussion [20] and provides additionally explicit equilibrium solutions, second–order macroscopic ap...
متن کاملVariational Multiscale LES and Hybrid RANS/LES Parallel Simulation of Complex Unsteady Flows
We study a new hybrid RANS/Variational Multiscale LES (VMS-LES) model for bluff body flows. The simulations have been carried out using a parallelized solver, based on a mixed element/volume formulation on unstructured grids. First, the behavior of a VMS-LES model with different subgrid scale models is investigated for the flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re =3900. Second, a new...
متن کاملOn the turbulence models and turbulent Schmidt number in simulating stratified flows
Stratified flows are prevalent in indoor and outdoor environments. To predict these flows, this investigation evaluated the performance of seven turbulence models by comparing the simulation results with the experimental data of both weakly and strongly stratified jets. The models tested included six Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models and one Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model. The ve...
