Abstract:
The control equations for the turbulent flow of Bingham fluid are established according to Bingham fluid constitution equation. Pressure field and velocity field are correlted by pressure-correction equation. The numerical computations are performed on Bingham fluid turbulent flow in sudden-expansion straight circular pipe, and the flow mechanisms are discussed.
