A Review of Laboratory and Numerical Techniques to Simulate Turbulent Flows

Turbulence is still an unsolved issue with enormous implications in several fields, from the turbulent wakes on moving objects to accumulation of heat built environment or optimization performances exchangers mixers. This review deals techniques and trends flow simulations, which can be achieved through both laboratory numerical modeling. As a matter fact, even if term “experiment” commonly employed for “simulation” techniques, try simulate real-world flows performing experiments under controlled conditions. The main target this paper provide overview investigate flows, useful research technical community also involved energy field (often non-specialist investigations), highlighting advantages disadvantages as well their fields application, highlight above mentioned methodologies via bibliometric analysis. In way, reader select proper technique specific case interest use quoted bibliography more detailed guide. consequence target, limitation that deepening single not provided. Moreover, though experimental presented are virtually applicable any type flow, given variety very broad research, examples discussed work will limited single-phase subsonic Newtonian fluids. result analysis shows that, 2021, 3:1 ratio simulations over emerges analysis, clearly projected dominant trend former turbulence. Nonetheless, discussion confirms each them has peculiar strengths weaknesses approaches indispensable, different but complementary purposes.
