Numerical simulation of incompressible turbulent flow in shrouded disk system with radial outflow
Authors
Abstract:
The flow behavior inside the shrouded disk system is of importance in appropriate design of turbomachinery cavities and turbine test cell hydraulics dynamometer. The turbulent incompressible flow is analyzed for the shrouded disk system with axial clearance. The flow core behaves as a Batchelor type structure when a weak inflow is imposed on the disk cavity. By increasing the inflow, the central core disappears and the tangential velocity distribution is changed to Stewartson type structure. The central core again reappears by increasing the Reynolds number. The moment coefficient of rotary disk depends on superimposed flow rate coefficient and dimensionless geometrical parameters. Moment coefficient increases with increasing inflow rate while the other parameters remain constant. The coefficient is reduced by increasing the Reynolds number. Moreover, it increases with both increasing rotary and stationary disks axial distance, and decreasing clearance ratio. The experimental results of a cavity with radial clearance are used to validate the accuracy of the simulation. The results of this analysis and its development can be used in the design of turbine test cell hydraulics dynamometers.

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...

In this paper, the Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in laminar and turbulent flows inside tubes fitted with diamond-shaped turbulators is numerically modeled. The nanofluid flow is modeled by employing a two-phase mixture method and applying the constant heat flux boundary condition at tube walls. In the results, the effects of different parameters such as the geometry of turbulators, volume fraction...

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...
