Abstract The paper focuses on implementing the wall model developed by Manhart, in Reynolds Averaged Navier - Stokes (RANS) turbulence models used field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This considers influence streamwise pressure gradient addition to existing usual CFD codes. In present work, two RANS numerical simulations are carried out using k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) an asymmet...

the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the air flow over a two dimensional ribbed channel wasnumerically investigated in various rib-width ratio configurations (b/h=0.5-1.75) atdifferent reynolds numbers, ranging from 6000 to 18000. the capability of differentturbulence models, including standard k-ε, rng k-ε, standard k-ω, and sst k-ω, inpredicting the heat transfer rate was compared with the experi...

To indicate the best airfoil profile for different sections of a blade, five airfoils; included S8xx, FFA and AH series was studied. Among the most popular wind power blades for this application were selected, in order to find the optimum performance. Nowadays, modern wind turbines are using blades with multi airfoils at different sections. SST-K-ω model with different wind speed at large scale...

In this work, we try to find the best setting of Computational Fluid Dynamic solver available for the problems in the field of supersonic internal flows. We used the supersonic air-toair ejector to represent the typical problem in focus. There are multiple oblique shock waves, shear layers, boundary layers and normal shock interacting in the supersonic ejector making this device typical in fiel...

In this paper, the numerical models are selected to simulate hydrothermal plume based on water temperature observation data of Longqi field in Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR). Then, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations solved evaluate performance Realizable k-ε (rke) model and SST k-ω (sst) simulation. By comparing calculated results with Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) literat...

In this study, the stirring mechanism of shear-thinning fluids benefiting from four blades in turbulent flow is considered. The fluid is studied inside a stirred cylindrical tank with a flat bottom. The height of fluid is equal to the cylinder’s diameter and the impeller is positioned centrally. A CFD simulation has been carried out and three-dimensional turbulent flow is numerically analyzed u...

The analysis of impeller shape performance was carried out with the SST (Shear-Stress Transport) model coupled with the streamline curvature turbulence model. This model combines the advantages from the κ−ε and κ−ω models, ensuring proper relation between turbulent stress and turbulent kinetic energy and allowing accurate and robust prediction of the impeller blade flow separation. The Multiple...

Wind flow on and around buildings attains more importance among architectures, builders, urban planners, structural engineers, wind engineers. tunnel experiments assessments of full-scale are expensive complex in varied terrain conditions. Hence, flows extensively assessed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). By following the turbulence parameters, CFD models create atmospheric environment...

Predictive capability of RANS and LES models to calculate incipient cavitation of water in a step nozzle is assessed. The RANS models namely, Realizable k-ɛ, SST k-ω and Reynolds Stress Model did not predict any cavitation, due to the limitation of RANS models to predict the low pressure vortex cores. LES WALE model was able to predict the cavitation by capturing the shear layer instability and...
