A number of numer~cal simulations of rack storage fires have been carr~ed out, with various fuel types and burner outputs. Both the standard buoyancy-modified k E turbulence model and a recently developed turbulence model which significantly improves the consideration of the buoyancy effect on turbulence and turbulent transport, were used to study the turbulence of the buoyant flow. The flamele...

in this paper, considering the importance of incoming flow turbulence intensity into combustion chamber, tripping wire effect on the flow wake has been experimentally investigated within a linear compressor cascade. to do this, two wires were implemented along each blade and their effects on average velocity, turbulence intensity and vortices frequencies at reynolds number 45500 were accurately...

We propose a consistent lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with baroclinic coupling between species and mixture dynamics to model the active scalar dynamics in multi-species mixtures. The proposed LBE model is directly derived from the linearized Boltzmann equations for mixtures and it has the following two distinctive features. First, it uses the multiple-relaxation-time collision model so that ...

This report presents the use of a time-marching threedimensional (3-D) compressible Navier-Stokes equation numerical solver with a one-equation turbulence model to simulate the flow fields developed along concave wall surfaces without and with a downstream extension flat wall surface. The 3-D Navier-Stokes numerical solver came from the NASA Glenn-HT code. The one-equation turbulence model was ...

This paper presents a way of modelling turbulence in multiphase flows within the context of the Reynolds-Stress Model. The model has been implemented in the general-purpose unstructured finite volume code Fluent V6. Two multiphase turbulence approaches were considered: mixture and dispersed models. The mixture model solves the Reynolds-stress transport equations on the mixture level only. The d...

Optimal control of enclosed environment requires detailed information of air distribution that could be obtained by numerically solving Navier-Stokes equations with a suitable turbulence model. This investigation evaluated the performance of eight turbulence models for transient airflow in enclosed environment using experimental data obtained in a room. The study used the room to create three c...

Lateral intake is a structure constructed next to a main channel to divert part of the flow within the channel. The separated area of the flow in the entrance of intake channel has no effect on flow discharge while reduces the effective cross-sectional area of the intake, as well as the bed load, which enters the intake due to low velocity flow deposits in this area. Thus, knowing the dimension...

A connection between fractal dimensions of ”turbulent facets”, and fractal dimensions in DLA is shown.

An anisotropic shell model has been proposed for two-dimensional (2D) turbulence. It is similar to the 2D version of the Gledzer-Ohkitani-Yamada model but with the angular variable in wave-number space divided into three distinct directions representing structures elongated in different directions. In the case when the drive is isotropic the usual isotropic solution is recovered as the fixed po...
