Flows in estuarial and coastal regions may be described by the shallow-water equations. The processes of pollution transport, sediment transport and plume dispersion are driven by the underlying hydrodynamics. Accurate resolution of these processes requires a three-dimensional formulation with turbulence modelling, which is very demanding computationally. A numerical scheme has been developed w...

In this research, a gas turbine blade cascade was investigated. Flow analysis around the blade was conducted using RSM and RNG.K-ε turbulence modeling and it is simulated by Fluent software. The results were considered for the cases as Mach number loss at the trailing edge of blade caused by vortexes that were generated at the end of blade. Effect of cooling flow through the trailing edge on th...

A review of existing basic turbulence modeling approaches reveals the need for the development of unified turbulence models which can be used continuously as filter density function (FDF) or probability density function (PDF) methods, large eddy simulation (LES) or Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) methods. It is then shown that such unified stochastic and deterministic turbulence models c...

Atmospheric turbulence models are necessary for the design of both inlet/engine and flight controls, as well as for studying coupling between the propulsion and the vehicle structural dynamics for supersonic vehicles. Models based on the Kolmogorov spectrum have been previously utilized to model atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, a more accurate model is developed in its representative frac...

Data from experiments and direct simulations of turbulence have historically been used to calibrate simple engineering models such as those based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. In the past few years, with the availability of large and diverse datasets, researchers have begun to explore methods to systematically inform turbulence models with data, with the goal of quant...

We report on a comparison of high-resolution numerical simulations of Lagrangian particles advected by incompressible turbulent hydro-and magne-tohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Numerical simulations were performed with up to 1024 3 collocation points and 10 million particles in the Navier-Stokes case and 512 3 collocation points and 1 million particles in the MHD case. In the hydrodynamics case our ...

With the recent development of wavelet-based techniques for computational fluid dynamics, adaptive numerical simulations of turbulent flows have become feasible [1]. Adaptive wavelet methods are based on wavelet threshold filtering that makes it possible to separate coherent energetic eddies, which are numerically simulated, from residual background flow structures that are filtered out. By var...

Using experimental models along with conducting numerical analysis have been widely used in performance recognition and optimization of hydraulic equipments. Numerical modeling has lower cost rather than experimental one; however practical tests are commonly used because of the hydraulic structure importance especially in dams. Meanwhile numerical methods could be used for future designs throug...

Developing an effective turbulence model is important for engineering applications as well as for fundamental understanding of the flow physics. We present a mathematical derivation of a closure relating the Reynolds stress to the mean strain rate for incompressible flows. A systematic multiscale analysis expresses the Reynolds stress in terms of the solutions of local periodic cell problems. W...
