چکیده

to enhance the understanding of the impact of obstacle buildings on pollution transportationand dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, it is necessary to know the atmospheric flow characteristics over terrains. wind flow characteristics in a boundary layer over a step-shaped cliff topography model with rough and smooth surfaces were studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics models (cfd). the cfd models that were used for the simulation were based on the steady-state reynolds-average navier- stoke equations (rans) with turbulence models; standard and rng models. the rough surface was modeled using windbreak fence, which was set on the step-shaped cliff model surface. the results of the numerical model were validated against the wind tunnel results in order to optimize the turbulence model. numerical predictions agreed reasonably with the wind tunnel results. the results indicated that rough surface has a great influence on the turbulent flow characteristics and vortex rotating. the wind velocity for rough surface near the ground level was observed to be lower than that for the smooth surface of the step-shaped cliff model. large flow separations were formed by the windbreak fences. distortion of the flow at the windward corner of the step created a steep gradient of velocity and large turbulent mixing.

Numerical simulation of nanofluid flow over diamond-shaped elements in tandem in laminar and turbulent flow

In this paper, the Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in laminar and turbulent flows inside tubes fitted with diamond-shaped turbulators is numerically modeled. The nanofluid flow is modeled by employing a two-phase mixture method and applying the constant heat flux boundary condition at tube walls. In the results, the effects of different parameters such as the geometry of turbulators, volume fraction...

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow over a compliant surface

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow over a compliant surface has been performed to evaluate the friction drag reduction effect. It is found that a slight drag reduction is observed over a compliant surface. This observation indicates that drag reduction is possible using a compliant surface that is deformed passively by wall pressure fluctuation. A small wall displacement and ...

Numerical Simulation of Surface Roughness Effects on Receptivity of Hypersonic Flow Over Blunt Cones

The accurate prediction of laminar-turbulent transition in hypersonic boundary layers is a critical part of the aerodynamic heating analyses on hypersonic vehicles. Despite decades of extensive research, the prediction of hypersonic boundary-layer transition is still mostly based on empirical correlation methods or the semi-empirical n e method because a number of physical mechanisms leading to...
