The present work compares the performance of three turbulence modeling approach (based on the two-equation k ε − model) in predicting erosive wear in multi-size dense slurry flow through rotating channel. All three turbulence models include rotation modification to the production term in the turbulent kineticenergy equation. The two-phase flow field obtained numerically using Galerkin finite el...

Because the application of surface fitting algorithms exerts a considerable fuzzy influence on the mathematical features of kinetic energy distribution, their relation mechanism in different external conditional parameters must be quantitatively analyzed. Through determining the kinetic energy value of each selected representative position coordinate point by calculating kinetic energy paramete...

E− turbulence model predictions of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer (NABL) are reinvestigated to determine the cause for turbulence overpredictions found in previous applications. Analytical solutions to the coupled E and equations for the case of steady balance between transport and dissipation terms, the dominant balance just below the NABL top, are derived. It is found that analytical ...

E−ǫ turbulence model predictions of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer (NABL) are reinvestigated to determine the cause for turbulence overpredictions found in previous applications. Analytical solutions to the coupled E and ǫ equations for the case of steady balance between transport and dissipation terms, the dominant balance just below the NABL top, are derived. It is found that analytic...

We present recent studies on the impact of phase and amplitude fluctuations on Doppler lidars using coherent detection. As there is an emphasis on elucidating those implications of the atmospheric propagation problem that bear on the design and reliability of optical coherent lidar systems, we consider in a unified framework the effects of atmospheric turbulence and diffuse target speckle on th...

Turbulent boundary layer measurements have been made on surfaces covered with filamentous marine algae. These experiments were conducted in a closed return water tunnel using a two-component, laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). The mean velocity profiles and parameters, as well as the axial and wall-normal turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stress, are compared with flows over smooth and sa...

in this study, the effect of suction and the parameters such as suction amplitude, suction coefficient and suction jet length on naca0012 was evaluated. the turbulence employed model was the rsm model. suction jet is located in 10% of the chord length. the range of suction jet entrance velocity was selected from 0.1 to 0.5 of freestream velocity. the maximum increase in lift to drag ratio was s...

Long-time high-resolution simulations of the dynamics of a coronal loop in cartesian geometry are carried out, within the framework of reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD), to understand coronal heating driven by motion of field lines anchored in the photosphere. We unambiguously identify MHD anisotropic turbulence as the physical mechanism responsible for the transport of energy from the large ...
