Book Turbulent Convecting Flow in a Square Duct with a 180deg Bend

Download or read book Turbulent Convecting Flow in a Square Duct with a 180deg Bend written by R. W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research in this British dissertation was motivated by the desire to provide a comprehensive set of convective heat transfer data against which flow simulation schemes could be tested. Turbulent convecting three-dimensional flow of fluids in curved passages is frequently encountered in thermofluids equipment and systems. Although such flow situations have been too complex to adequately simulate computationally in the past, recent developments have provided physical models coupled with numerical techniques which can be applied to provide such simulations. Nevertheless, it has not been established to what extent such simulations provide accurate predictions and a sufficiently detailed data base does not exist to allow a searching evaluation of computer predictions. It is the conclusion of this collaborative study that significant inadequacies remain in the turbulence and wall models with respect to their ability to predict fully-three dimensional curved turbulent flow. Predictions for the Nusselt number distribution are in rather better agreement with the experimental data than are the hydrodynamic and temperature field predictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prediction of turbulent flows is of paramount importance in the development of complex engineering systems involving flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions. Arising from a programme held at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, this volume reviews the current situation regarding the prediction of such flows through the use of modern computational fluid dynamics techniques, and attempts to address the inherent problem of modelling turbulence. In particular, the current physical understanding of such flows is summarised and the resulting implications for simulation discussed. The volume continues by surveying current approximation methods whilst discussing their applicability to industrial problems. This major work concludes by providing a specific set of guidelines for selecting the most appropriate model for a given problem. Unique in its breadth and critical approach, this book will be of immense value to experienced practitioners and researchers, continuing the UK's strong tradition in fluid dynamics.

Book Developing Turbulent Flow in a 180 Degree Bend and Downstream Tangent of Square Cross Sections

Download or read book Developing Turbulent Flow in a 180 Degree Bend and Downstream Tangent of Square Cross Sections written by J. A. C. Humphrey and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed account is given of the experimental and numerical modeling activities for the research period, relating to turbulent flow in a 180 deg curved duct. The measurements show variations in the flow field which, while understood, are not predictable by a K-epsilon model of turbulence. Numerical diffusion and exaggerated physical diffusion in the turbulence model are believed to be the major causes for the discrepancies observed. The new experimental data offered here should be of value for extending the theoretical base for the improved understanding and modeling of 3-D turbulent flows. Recommendations are made for continuing work.

Book Characterisation of Turbulent Duct Flows

Download or read book Characterisation of Turbulent Duct Flows written by Bayode Owolabi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents several new findings in the field of turbulent duct flows, which are important for a range of industrial applications. It presents both high-quality experiments and cutting-edge numerical simulations, providing a level of insight and rigour rarely found in PhD theses. The scientific advancements concern the effect of the Earth’s rotation on large duct flows, the experimental confirmation of marginal turbulence in a pressure-driven square duct flow (previously only predicted in simulations), the identification of similar marginal turbulence in wall-driven flows using simulations (for the first time by any means) and, on a separate but related topic, a comprehensive experimental study on the phenomenon of drag reduction via polymer additives in turbulent duct flows. In turn, the work on drag reduction resulted in a correlation that provides a quantitative prediction of drag reduction based on a single, measurable material property of the polymer solution, regardless of the flow geometry or concentration. The first correlation of its kind, it represents an important advancement from both a scientific and practical perspective.

Book Numerical Study of Turbulent Secondary Flows in Curved Ducts

Download or read book Numerical Study of Turbulent Secondary Flows in Curved Ducts written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-09 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressure driven, fully-developed turbulent flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in curved ducts of square cross-section is studied numerically by making use of a finite volume method. A nonlinear Kappa - Iota model is used to represent the turbulence. The results for both straight and curved ducts are presented. For the case of fully-developed turbulent flow in straight ducts, the secondary flow is characterized by an eight-vortex structure for which the computed flowfield is shown to be in good agreement with available experimental data. The introduction of moderate curvature is shown to cause a substantial increase in the strength of the secondary flow and to change the secondary flow pattern to either a double-vortex or a four-vortex configuration.

Book Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Duct Roughened with Transverse Or V shaped Ribs

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Duct Roughened with Transverse Or V shaped Ribs written by Seyyed Vahid Mahmoodi Jezeh and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This integrated thesis documents a series of complementary numerical investigations aimed at an improved understanding of turbulent flows and heat transfer in a square duct with ribs of different shapes mounted on one wall. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is used to accurately resolve the spatial and temporal scales of the simulated flows. The first DNS investigates the turbulent flow in a ribbed square duct of different blockage ratios. The results are compared with those of a smooth duct flow. It is observed that an augmentation of the blockage ratio concurrently generates stronger turbulent secondary flow motions, which drastically alter the turbulent transport processes between the sidewall and duct center, giving rise to high-degrees of non-equilibrium states. The dynamics of coherent structures are studied by examining characteristics of the instantaneous velocity field, swirling strength, spatial two-point auto-correlations, and velocity spectra. The impact of the blockage ratio on the turbulent heat transfer is investigated in the second numerical study. The results show that owing to the existence of the ribs and confinement of the duct, organized secondary flows appear as large streamwise-elongated vortices, which have profound influences on the transport of momentum and thermal energy. This study also shows that the spatial distribution and magnitude of the drag and heat transfer coefficients are highly sensitive to the rib height. The final study focuses on a comparison of highly-disturbed turbulent flows in a square duct with inclined and V-shaped ribs mounted on one wall. The turbulence field is highly sensitive to not only the rib geometry but also the boundary layers developed over the side and top walls. Owing to the difference in the pattern of the cross-stream secondary flow motions of these two ribbed duct cases, the flow physics in the inclined rib case is significantly different from the V-shaped rib case. It is found that near the leeward and windward faces of the ribs, the mean inclination angle of turbulence structures in the V-shaped rib case is greater than that of the inclined rib case, which subsequently enhances momentum transport between the ribbed bottom wall and the smooth top wall.
