Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swirl flows are useful in many engineering and environmental applications. They can be utilized to reduce emissions of pollutants, to improve ignition stability, and to stabilize a flame for clean combustion. The majority of swirl flows include both wall-bounded regions and free shear flow regions. Experimental research cannot provide all the information needed for the study of these flows. Numerical simulations of swirl flows provide more insights into the structure of the swirl flows. The direct numerical simulation (DNS) method is an accurate and reliable tool for flow simulations but computationally expensive. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) methods are computationally less expensive for the simulation of wall-bounded and free shear flows, but they turn out to be not well appropriate for turbulent swirling jet simulations. Large-eddy simulation (LES) is an appropriate modeling approach for turbulent swirl flow simulations, but the calculation of the free swirling jet using LES needs fluctuating inlet velocity conditions. The generation of such fluctuating velocity fields could be done by performing a LES of the nozzle flow. Unfortunately, the computational costs of such LES are comparable to those of DNS. A need thus arises to apply a hybrid RANS/LES method that combines two main advantages, the capability of LES methods in capturing instantaneous flow structures and the low computational costs of RANS methods. In this study, the performance of two hybrid approaches, a segregated RANS/LES method, and a unified RANS/LES method, is investigated regarding the simulation of turbulent swirling jet flows. The segregated model combines a RANS model in the nozzle region and a LES model in the jet region, whereas the unified model combines a RANS model in near-wall regions with a LES model away from the wall. This study provides evidence that the unified turbulence model is a better tool to predict swirl flows and, more importantly, a better tool to calculate the vortex breakdown. The accuracy of the numerical predictions is confirmed by comparing available experimental data for non-swirling and swirling jet flows with computational results. The validated model is used to study the mechanism of swirl effects, vortex breakdown, and scalar mixing.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swirling jet flows have been studied experimentally and computationally and the results have been compared with theory. Three-component Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) measurements have been carried out for swirling jets of various strengths and swirl distributions. Radial profiles of velocity have been obtained from the jet exit to 50 diameters downstream. The experimental results are consistent with previous results and with similarity theory for weakly swirling turbulent jets. However, the parametric range and spatial domain of the current data set makes it suitable for validation. Computational simulations have also been performed using a combination of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approaches. The results have been validated with experimental data and used to explore the mechanisms behind the increased mixing enhancement observed. The combined experimental/computational effort is still ongoing, but the experiences to date have demonstrated the effectiveness of such an approach.

This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft engine combustors generally involve turbulent swirling flows in order to enhance fuel-air mixing and flame stabilization. It has long been recognized that eddy viscosity turbulence models are unable to appropriately model swirling flows. Therefore, it has been suggested that, for the modeling of these flows, a second order closure scheme should be considered because of its ability in the modeling of rotational and curvature effects. However, this scheme will require solution of many complicated second moment transport equations (six Reynolds stresses plus other scalar fluxes and variances), which is a difficult task for any CFD implementations. Also, this scheme will require a large amount of computer resources for a general combustor swirling flow. This report is devoted to the development of a cubic Reynolds stress-strain model for turbulent swirling flows, and was inspired by the work of Launder's group at UMIST. Using this type of model, one only needs to solve two turbulence equations, one for the turbulent kinetic energy k and the other for the dissipation rate epsilon. The cubic model developed in this report is based on a general Reynolds stress-strain relationship. Two flows have been chosen for model evaluation. One is a fully developed rotating pipe flow, and the other is a more complex flow with swirl and recirculation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach. This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a novel application of the temporal numerical simulation, an investigation ofturbulence modeling techniques is carried for the turbulent wall jet over aconvex surface (Coanda wall jet.) The simultaneous presence of multipleinstability mechanisms and the interaction with the turbulence dynamics at thesolid boundary produces a unique combination of different large turbulentcoherent structures that constitutes both a consistent challenge for numericalsimulations and an ideal test bed for turbulence models. The Temporal Direct Numerical Simulation (TDNS) of the Coanda wall jetrestricts the focus from the global turbulent Coanda wall jet to a smaller, localportion of the flow and offers a wide array of advantages to the present work. Inparticular, the size of the computational domain can be arbitrarily chosen inboth the spanwise and the streamwise directions. This allows to either suppressor enhance individual physical mechanisms and, consequently, to selectivelyreproduce different large coherent structures within the local flow. In the firstpart, temporal numerical simulations are employed to reproduce four differentflow scenarios of the local Coanda wall jet with a level of numerical resolutionthat, because of the reduced size of the computational domain, cannot be matchedby standard DNS of the entire physical flow (spatial DNS, or SDNS.)The TDNS of these four flow scenarios are then used in the second part for ana--posteriori analysis of different turbulence models in order to addresscommon shortcomings shown by Hybrid Turbulence Models (HTM). For each flowscenario, the turbulent flow field is deliberately decomposed in resolved andunresolved flows by the application of different filters in space correspondingto different grid resolution. The behavior of turbulence models can be reproducedfrom the resolved flow and compared to theturbulent stress tensor directlycalculated from the unresolved part of the flow field. Starting from the RANSlimit, turbulence models with different levels of complexity are studied. Successively, the performance of these models is analyzed at intermediatenumerical resolutions between RANS, LES, and DNS. Finally, an improvedformulation of the Flow Simulation Methodology (FSM) is proposed.

This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An existing cold-jet facility at NASA Lewis Research Center was modified to produce swirling flows with controllable initial tangential velocity distribution. Two extreme swirl profiles, i.e., one with solid-body rotation and the other predominated by a free-vortex distribution, were produced at identical swirl number of 0.48. Mean centerline velocity decay characteristics of the solid-body rotation jet flow exhibited classical decay features of a swirling jet with S - 0.48 reported in the literature. However, the predominantly free-vortex distribution case was on the verge of vortex breakdown, a phenomenon associated with the rotating flows of significantly higher swirl numbers, i.e., S sub crit greater than or equal to 0.06. This remarkable result leads to the conclusion that the integrated swirl effect, reflected in the swirl number, is inadequate in describing the mean swirling jet behavior in the near field. The relative size (i.e., diameter) of the vortex core emerging from the nozzle and the corresponding tangential velocity distribution are also controlling factors. Excitability of swirling jets is also investigated by exciting a flow with a swirl number of 0.35 by plane acoustic waves at a constant sound pressure level and at various frequencies. It is observed that the cold swirling jet is excitable by plane waves, and that the instability waves grow about 50 percent less in peak r.m.s. amplitude and saturate further upstream compared to corresponding waves in a jet without swirl having the same axial mass flux. The preferred Strouhal number based on the mass-averaged axial velocity and nozzle exit diameter for both swirling and nonswirling flows is 0.4.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. Combustion always takes place within a turbulent flow field for two reasons: turbulence increases the mixing process and enhances combustion, but at the same time combustion releases heat which generates flow instability through buoyancy, thus enhancing the transition to turbulence. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.
