Numerical Simulation of Separation Bubble on Elliptic Cylinders Using Three-equation k-? Turbulence Model

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

Study of Parameters Affecting Separation Bubble Size in High Speed Flows using k-ω Turbulence Model

Shock waves generated at different parts of vehicle interact with the boundary layer over the surface at high Mach flows. The adverse pressure gradient across strong shock wave causes the flow to separate and peak loads are generated at separation and reattachment points. The size of separation bubble in the shock boundary layer interaction flows depends on various parameters. Reynolds-averaged...

Integration of Particle to Bubble Adhesion Model in Design and Scale-Up of Slurry Bubble Columns

In slurry bubble column reactors, catalyst particles may adhere to gas bubbles. Thus, mass transfer limited reactions can be significantly improved either by increasing G-L mass transfer coefficient kL or specific surface area a. The scope of this work is to study the influence of model parameters on coalescence and G-L mass transfer, in order to develop new rules for design and scale-up of slu...
