Three Dimensional Laminar Convection Flow of Radiating Gas over a Backward Facing Step in a Duct
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In this study, three-dimensional simulations are presented for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas over a backward-facing step in rectangular duct. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are solved numerically using the CFD techniques to obtain the temperature and velocity fields. Discretized forms of these equations are obtained by the finite volume method and solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. Since the gas is considered as a radiating medium, all of the convection, conduction and radiation terms are presented in the energy equation. For computation of radiative term in energy equation, the radiative transfer equation (RTE) is solved numerically by the discrete ordinates method (DOM) to find the divergence of radiative heat flux distribution inside the radiating medium. The numerical results are presented graphically and the effects of the radiation-conduction parameter, optical thickness and albedo coefficient on heat transfer behavior of the system are investigated. Comparison of numerical results with the available data published in open literature shows a good consistency.

متن کاملThree-dimensional instability in flow over a backward-facing step
Results are reported from a three-dimensional computational stability analysis of flow over a backward-facing step with an expansion ratio (outlet to inlet height) of 2 at Reynolds numbers between 450 and 1050. The analysis shows that the first absolute linear instability of the steady two-dimensional flow is a steady three-dimensional bifurcation at a critical Reynolds number of 748. The criti...

متن کاملSimulation of Steady, Laminar Flow Over a Backward-Facing Step
A 2D Navier-Stokes solver was developed to simulate steady,laminar flow over a backward-facing step of height h. The step expansion ratio=1/2 and the flow at the step was assumed to be fully developed, laminar channel flow. The Reynolds number for this flow was defined as Re=Uh/ν. The 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was solved in generalized curvilinear coordinates using artificial co...
