Computation of Laminar and Turbulent Flow in Curved Ducts, Channels, and Pipes Using the Navier-Stokes Equations
Author: R. C. Buggeln
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Laminar flow
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Both laminar and turbulent flows in strongly curved ducts, channels, and pipes are studied by numerical methods. The study concentrates on the curved square-duct geometry and flow conditions for which detailed measurements have been obtained recently by Taylor, Whitelaw, and Yianneskis. The solution methodology encompasses solution of the compressible ensemble-averaged Navier-Stokes equations at low Mach number using a split linearized block implicit (LBI) scheme, and rapid convergence on the order of 80 noniterative time steps is obtained. The treatment of turbulent flows includes resolution of the viscous sublayer region. A series of solutions for both laminar and turbulent flow and for both two- and three-dimensional geometries of the same curvature are presented. The accuracy of these solutions is explored by mesh refinement and by comparison with experiment. In summary, good qualitative and reasonable quantitative agreement between solution and experiment is obtained. Collectively, this sequence of results serves to clarify the physical structure of these flows and hence how grid selection procedures might be adjusted to improve the numerical accuracy and experimental agreement. For a three-dimensional flow of considerable complexity, the relatively good agreement with experiment obtained for the turbulent flow case despite a coarse grid must be regarded as encouraging.

Analysis and Numerical Solution of Three-Dimensional Viscous Internal Flow Problems
Author: Kirti N. Ghia
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
This research is motivated by the need for accurate prediction of three-dimensional viscous flow in a turbine or compressor passage. As a major step towards the investigation of these problems, the three-dimensional entrance flow through ducts of various regular cross-sections, with longitudinal and transverse curvature effects, have been studied. The mathematical model has been formulated using time-averaged three-dimensional parabolized Navier-Stokes equations. The analysis has been developed using an existing two-equation turbulence model and is checked by obtaining satisfactory comparison of the present results for straight and curved circular pipes. The effects of the problem parameters on the flow fields are accurately evaluated and the limitations of the turbulence model have been briefly stated. Four related areas were identified and studied separately. These consist of the law of the wall, coordinate transformations and efficiency and accuracy of the numerical algorithm. The last three of these areas have been studied with some success already, and the additional analysis developed will be implemented in the basic turbulent-flow program to make the latter a truly predictive tool.

Analysis of the Three-dimensional Compressible Turbulent Boundary Layer on a Sharp Cone at Incidence in Supersonic and Hypersonic Flow
Author: John C. Adams
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics, Hypersonic
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
An analytical approach toward numerical calculation of the three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer on a sharp cone at incidence under supersonic and hypersonic flow conditions is presented. The theoretical model is based on implicit finite-difference integration of the governing three-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer equations in conjunction with a three-dimensional scalar eddy-viscosity model of turbulence. Comparison is made of present theory with detailed experimental measurements of the three-dimensional turbulent boundary-layer structure (velocity and temperature profiles), the surface streamline direction (obtained via an oil-flow technique) and surface heat-transfer rate.

Numerical Study of Three-Dimensional Laminar and Turbulent Flows with System Rotation
Author: W. R. Briley

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
The spatial marching analysis is given for economical computation of three-dimensional viscous subsonic flows in rotating geometries. The governing equations are based on a small scalar potential approximation for the vector decomposed secondary flow velocity. No approximation is needed for the streamwise pressure gradient term and this allows strong viscous secondary flows, coordinate curvature and system rotation effects to influence these pressure gradients. This approach is applied to three-dimensional laminar and turbulent flows in rotating 90 degree bends and in rotating straight pipes and ducts. The predicted structure of these flows is consistent with experimental observations and measurements. Computer solutions obtained using 500,000 grid points require only about 15 minutes of CRAY-1S run time. This approach appears promising for further development and application to centrifugal impeller and other turbomachinery flows. Keywords: Rotating flow; Viscous flow; Parabolic flow analysis; Digital simulation.
