Book Compressibility Turbulence and High Speed Flow

Download or read book Compressibility Turbulence and High Speed Flow written by Thomas B. Gatski and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009-02-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the field of compressible turbulence and compressible turbulent flows across a broad speed range through a unique complimentary treatment of both the theoretical foundations and the measurement and analysis tools currently used. For the computation of turbulent compressible flows, current methods of averaging and filtering are presented so that the reader is exposed to a consistent development of applicable equation sets for both the mean or resolved fields as well as the transport equations for the turbulent stress field. For the measurement of turbulent compressible flows, current techniques ranging from hot-wire anemometry to PIV are evaluated and limitations assessed. Characterizing dynamic features of free shear flows, including jets, mixing layers and wakes, and wall-bounded flows, including shock-turbulence and shock boundary-layer interactions, obtained from computations, experiments and simulations are discussed. - Describes prediction methodologies including the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method, scale filtered methods and direct numerical simulation (DNS) - Presents current measurement and data analysis techniques - Discusses the linkage between experimental and computational results necessary for validation of numerical predictions - Meshes the varied results of computational and experimental studies in both free and wall-bounded flows to provide an overall current view of the field

Book Compressible Turbulence Transport Equations for Generalized Second Order Closure

Download or read book Compressible Turbulence Transport Equations for Generalized Second Order Closure written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress on the theory of second order closure in turbulence models of various types requires knowledge of the transport equations for various turbulence correlations. This report documents a procedure that provides such equations for a wide variety of turbulence averages for compressible flows of a multicomponent fluid. Generalizing some work by Germano for incompressible flows, we introduce an appropriate extension of his generalized second order correlations and use a generalized mass-weighted averaging procedure to derive transport equations for the correlations. The averaging procedure includes all of the commonly used averages as special cases. The resulting equations provide an internally consistent starting point for future work in developing single-point statistical turbulence transport models for fluid flows. The form invariance of the in-compressible equations also holds for the compressible case, and we discuss some of the closure issues and frequently ignored complications of statistical turbulence models of compressible flows.

Book Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Turbulent Flows written by Jean Piquet and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-03-26 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: obtained are still severely limited to low Reynolds numbers (about only one decade better than direct numerical simulations), and the interpretation of such calculations for complex, curved geometries is still unclear. It is evident that a lot of work (and a very significant increase in available computing power) is required before such methods can be adopted in daily's engineering practice. I hope to l"Cport on all these topics in a near future. The book is divided into six chapters, each· chapter in subchapters, sections and subsections. The first part is introduced by Chapter 1 which summarizes the equations of fluid mechanies, it is developed in C~apters 2 to 4 devoted to the construction of turbulence models. What has been called "engineering methods" is considered in Chapter 2 where the Reynolds averaged equations al"C established and the closure problem studied (§1-3). A first detailed study of homogeneous turbulent flows follows (§4). It includes a review of available experimental data and their modeling. The eddy viscosity concept is analyzed in §5 with the l"Csulting ~alar-transport equation models such as the famous K-e model. Reynolds stl"Css models (Chapter 4) require a preliminary consideration of two-point turbulence concepts which are developed in Chapter 3 devoted to homogeneous turbulence. We review the two-point moments of velocity fields and their spectral transforms (§ 1), their general dynamics (§2) with the particular case of homogeneous, isotropie turbulence (§3) whel"C the so-called Kolmogorov's assumptions are discussed at length.

Book Computation and Comparison of Efficient Turbulence Models for Aeronautics European Research Project ETMA

Download or read book Computation and Comparison of Efficient Turbulence Models for Aeronautics European Research Project ETMA written by Alain Dervieux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions to the BRITE-EURAM 3rd Framework Programme ETMA and extended articles of the TMA-Workshop. It focusses on turbulence modelling techniques suitable to use in typical flow configurations, with emphasis on compressibility effects and inherent unsteadiness. These methodologies are applied to the Navier-Stokes equations, involving various turbulence modelling levels from algebraic to RSM. Basic turbulent flows in aeronautics are considered; mixing layers, wall-flows (flat-plate, backward-facing step, ramp, bump), and more complex configurations (bump, aerofoil). A critical assessment of the turbulence modelling performances is offered, based on previous results and on the experimental data-base of this research programme. The ETMA results figure in the data-base constituted by all partners and organized by INRIA

Book Turbulence Models and Their Application

Download or read book Turbulence Models and Their Application written by Tuncer Cebeci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a brief review of the more popular turbulence models, the author presents and discusses accurate and efficient numerical methods for solving the boundary-layer equations with turbulence models based on algebraic formulas (mixing length, eddy viscosity) or partial-differential transport equations. A computer program employing the Cebeci-Smith model and the k-e model for obtaining the solution of two-dimensional incompressible turbulent flows without separation is discussed in detail and is presented in the accompanying CD.

Book A New Hypothesis on the Anisotropic Reynolds Stress Tensor for Turbulent Flows

Download or read book A New Hypothesis on the Anisotropic Reynolds Stress Tensor for Turbulent Flows written by László Könözsy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a mathematical insight--including intermediate derivation steps--into engineering physics and turbulence modeling related to an anisotropic modification to the Boussinesq hypothesis (deformation theory) coupled with the similarity theory of velocity fluctuations. Through mathematical derivations and their explanations, the reader will be able to understand new theoretical concepts quickly, including how to put a new hypothesis on the anisotropic Reynolds stress tensor into engineering practice. The anisotropic modification to the eddy viscosity hypothesis is in the center of research interest, however, the unification of the deformation theory and the anisotropic similarity theory of turbulent velocity fluctuations is still missing from the literature. This book brings a mathematically challenging subject closer to graduate students and researchers who are developing the next generation of anisotropic turbulence models. Indispensable for graduate students, researchers and scientists in fluid mechanics and mechanical engineering.

Book Disturbance Dynamics in Transitional and Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Disturbance Dynamics in Transitional and Turbulent Flows written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to expand the predictive capability of single-point turbulence closure models to account for the early-stage transition regime, a methodology for the formulation and calibration of model equations for the ensemble-averaged disturbance kinetic energy and energy dissipation rate is presented. First the decay of laminar disturbances and turbulence in mean shear-free flows is studied. In laminar flows, such disturbances are linear superpositions of modes governed by the Orr-Sommerfeld equation. In turbulent flows, disturbances are described through transport equations for representative mean quantities. The link between a description based on a deterministic evolution equation and a probability based mean transport equation is established. Because an uncertainty in initial conditions exists in the laminar as well as the turbulent regime, a probability distribution must be defined even in the laminar case. Using this probability distribution, it is shown that the exponential decay of the linear modes in the laminar regime can be related to a power law decay of both the (ensemble) mean disturbance kinetic energy and the dissipation rate. The evolution of these mean disturbance quantities is then described by transport equations similar to those for the corresponding turbulent decaying flow. Second, homogeneous shear flow, where disturbances can be described by rapid distortion theory (RDT), is studied. The relationship between RDT and linear stability theory is exploited in order to obtain a closed set of modeled equations. The linear disturbance equations are solved directly so that the numerical simulation yields a database from which the closure coefficients in the ensemble-averaged disturbance equations can be determined.Grosch, Chester E.Langley Research CenterPERTURBATION THEORY; DISTORTION; TRANSITION FLOW; TURBULENT FLOW; CLOSURE LAW; LAMINAR FLOW; SHEAR FLOW; ORR-SOMMERFELD EQUATIONS; ENERGY DISSIPATION; KINETIC ENERGY; LINEAR EQUATIONS; MATHEMATICAL MOD

Book A Near Wall Two Equation Model for Compressible Turbulent Flows

Download or read book A Near Wall Two Equation Model for Compressible Turbulent Flows written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A near-wall two-equation turbulence model of the K - epsilon type is developed for the description of high-speed compressible flows. The Favre-averaged equations of motion are solved in conjunction with modeled transport equations for the turbulent kinetic energy and solenoidal dissipation wherein a variable density extension of the asymptotically consistent near-wall model of So and co-workers is supplemented with new dilatational models. The resulting compressible two-equation model is tested in the supersonic flat plate boundary layer - with an adiabatic wall and with wall cooling - for Mach numbers as large as 10. Direct comparisons of the predictions of the new model with raw experimental data and with results from the K - omega model indicate that it performs well for a wide range of Mach numbers. The surprising finding is that the Morkovin hypothesis, where turbulent dilatational terms are neglected, works well at high Mach numbers, provided that the near wall model is asymptotically consistent. Instances where the model predictions deviate from the experiments appear to be attributable to the assumption of constant turbulent Prandtl number - a deficiency that will be addressed in a future paper.
