This article presents a new turbulence closure based on the k-ω SST model for predicting turbulent flows of Herschel–Bulkley fluids, including Bingham and power-law fluids. The has been calibrated with direct numerical simulations (DNS) data fully-developed pipe flow shear-thinning viscoplastic shows good agreement in mean velocity, average viscosity, shear stress budget friction factor. latter...

To improve the calculation of the flow properties of an aerospike nozzle, different turbulence models were investigated in this study. The primary shape of the nozzle plug is determined through utilizing an approximate method. The flow field is, then, simulated using the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flows. The commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent is used to simulate t...

This paper presents the comparison of numerical simulation results and wind tunnel experiment for compound WIG's wing. Numerical was performed in ANSYS Fluent software. The choice turbulence model computational mesh parameters, including resolution boundary layer, are substantiated. Comparison showed good convergence middle density about 7 million cells first layer height 0.0001 m. Additional s...

Gravity currents are very common in nature and may appear in rivers, lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere. They are produced by the buoyant forces interacting between fluids of different densities and may introduce sediments and pollutants into water bodies. In this study, the hydrodynamics and propagation of gravity currents are investigated using WISE (Width Integrated Stratified Environments), ...

The intent of shielding functions in delayed detached-eddy simulation methods (DDES) is to preserve the wall boundary layers as Reynolds-averaged Navier–Strokes (RANS) mode, avoiding possible modeled stress depletion (MSD) or even unphysical separation due to grid refinement. An entropy function f s is introduced to construct a DDES formulation for the k-ω shear stress transport (SST) model, wh...

The application of the nonlinear SST turbulence model (SST NL) for calculation flows with anisotropy is considered. results following validation test cases are presented: flow in a square duct, corner separation at wing-body junction (NASA Juncture Flow) and transonic wing CRM). has been found to significantly improve quality simulating anisotropic as compared models based on Boussinesq hypothe...

Roughness elements or turbulence promoters have been widely used to enhance heat transfer in cooling passages of modern gas turbine blades. Although such ribs substantially enhance heat transfer, the heat transfer coefficient is reduced immediately at corner downstream of each rib, creating hot spots. To remove such hot spots some of the ribs can be detached from the channel walls. In this pape...

  In this study, fluid flow and energy separation in a micro-scale Ranque-HilschVortex Tube are numerically investigated. The flow is assumed as 2D, steady,compressible ideal gas, and shear-stress-transport SST k-W is found to be a bestchoice for modeling of turbulence phenomena. The results are in a good agreementwith the experimental results reported in the literature. The results show that f...
