Large-Eddy Simulations of a Separated Plane Diffuser
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of a weakly separated diffuser. The influence of mesh resolution and the choice of subgrid model is investigated. Three resolutions ranging from 1.5 to 6.5 million cells are computed. The influence of the subgrid model is studied on the coarsest mesh using no subgrid model, the standard Smagorinsky model, the dynamic Smagorinsky model and the dynamic localization model. Furthermore, some flow features are investigated using the results of the fine mesh simulation. The application of LES to a gas turbine prediffuser flow is briefly described.

Breaking waves have ability to transport large quantities of sediment and significant impact on coastal structures morphology. Hence, modeling of wave breaking is an important subject in coastal and marine engineering. In this research, the periodic wave breaking process on a plane slope is studied experimentally and numerically. Laboratory experiments were conducted to record water surface ele...
متن کاملBehavior of the Blade Tip Vortices of a Wind Turbine Equipped with a Brimmed-Diffuser Shroud
To clarify the behavior of the blade tip vortices of a wind turbine equipped with a brimmed-diffuser shroud, called a “Wind-Lens turbine”, we conducted a three-dimensional numerical simulation using a large eddy simulation (LES). Since this unique wind turbine consists of not only rotating blades but also a diffuser shroud with a broad-ring brim at the exit periphery, the flow field around the ...

Large-eddy simulations of awing-body junction flow experimentally studied are presented.Wall junction flows are common in engineering applications, but the flow physics at the corners of the junction is not well understood. Moreover, in these types of flows, the performance of the subgrid-scale models frequently used for large-eddy simulations is not well characterized. To address these issues,...
متن کاملStudy of NACA 0015 for Diffuser Design in Tidal Current Turbine Applications (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Tidal energy is the most foreseeable form of renewable energy. Tidal energy can be harnessed by tidal barrage, tidal fence and tidal current technologies. Present efforts are focused on diffuser augmented tidal turbines that exploit the kinetic energy of the tidal currents. The power output by a tidal turbine is directly proportional to the cube of velocity of incoming fluid flow. Thus, even a ...
