Evaluation of Turbulence Models for Analysis of Thermal Striping

Thermal Striping 해석 난류모델 평가

A numerical study of evaluation of turbulence models for thermal striping phenomenon is performed. The turbulence models chosen in the present study are the two-layer model, the shear stress transport (SST) model and the V2-f model. These three models are applied to the analysis of the triple jet flow with the same velocity but different temperature. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equation method is used together with the SIMPLE algorithm. The results of the present study show that the temporal oscillation of temperature is predicted only by the V2-f model, and the accuracy of the mean velocity, the turbulent shear stress and the mean temperature is a little dependent on the turbulence model used. The the two-layer model and the SST model shows nearly the same capability of predicting the thermal striping and the amplitude of the temperature fluctuation is predicted best by the V2-f model.
