Influence of Mass Loading on Particle-Laden Turbulent Pipe Flow

A CFD code in the framework of OpenFOAM was validated for simulations of particle-laden pipe and channel flows at low to intermediate mass loadings. The code is based on an Eulerian two-fluid approach with Reynolds-averaged conservation equations, including turbulence modeling and four-way coupling. Pipe flow simulations of particles in air against gravity were conducted at Reynolds numbers up to 50000. The particle mass loading was varied and its effect on the mean velocities and turbulent fluctuations of the two phases was studied. Special attention was paid to the influence of mass loading on the centerline velocity and the wall shear velocity of the fluid phase for various flow parameters and particle properties. Empirical correlations were established between these two quantities and the flow Reynolds number, particle Reynolds number, Stokes number and particle to fluid density ratio for a range of particle mass loadings.

DNS and Experiment of a Turbulent Channel Flow with StreamwiseRotation - Study of the Cross Flow Phenomena

Modelling of rotating turbulent flows is a major issue in engineering applications. Intensive research has been dedicated to rotating channel flows in spanwise direction such as by [1], [2] to name only two. In this work a turbulent channel flow rotating about the streamwise direction is presented. The theory is based on the investigations of [4] employing the symmetry theory. It was found that a cross flow in the spanwise direction is induced. A series of direct numerical simulations (DNS) at different rotation numbers is carried out to examine these effects. Further, the results of the DNS are compared to the measuremets of a corresponding experiment. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

DNS of a Turbulent Channel Flow with Streamwise Rotation - Study of the Reverse Effect of the Cross Flow

Modeling of rotating turbulent flows is a major issue in engineering applications. In this work a turbulent channel flow rotating about the streamwise direction is presented. The theory is based on the investigations of [3] employing Lie group analysis. It was found that a cross flow in spanwise direction is induced. A series of direct numerical simulations (DNS) has been conducted for both different rotation rates and different Reynolds numbers to validate the cross flow. In addition some new interesting effects were observed. The averaged profile ū₃ of the cross flow is formed like a ‘S’ that means it exhibits a triple zero-crossing which denotes regions of reverse flow. Alaso a reverse effect is seen which means that for small rotation rates up to Ro=10 the spanwise mean velocity profiles increase and at rotation number Ro=14 this effect appears to reverse. Both effects were observed at two different Reynolds numbers Re = 180 and Re = 270. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Model Equations for Turbulent Shear Flow

A set of model equations for the calculation of turbulent shear flows is presented. It is shown how the equations can be modified to allow for the inclusion of viscosity, compressibility and density variations. Some results of numerical computations are given. The constant in the law of the wall is predicted to within 10% for flow over a perfectly smooth wall, and a dependence on wall roughness is obtained. The empirical law of the wall for compressible flow is also shown to be a consequence of the equations.

Stochastic Multi-Scale Methods for Turbulent Flow Simulations

The use of currently available methods for turbulent flow simulations is faced with significant problems: one has the choice between efficient methods with relatively low predictive power (which require evidence in each case) or relatively accurate but very expensive methods. The unification of these methods would be very helpful for a better understanding of the generality of modeling assumptions, and to make an optimal use of characteristic advantages of models. Previously, this problem was addressed on the basis of deterministic equations, which resulted in many different heuristic interpolation procedures. These problems can be solved by addressing the question considered at the more general level of stochastic equations: in this way it is possible to obtain consistent stochastic multi-scale methods which imply corresponding deterministic equations.

Regularity Criterion for Solutions of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Channel Flows

In this paper we consider the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in infinite channel. We provide a regularity criterion for solutions of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in terms of the vertical component of the velocity field.     

Turbulent Superfluid Profiles and Vortex Density Waves in a Counterflow Channel

In this paper we study the two-dimensional profiles of the superfluid component velocity and the quantized vortex-points density in a counterflow channel where the influence of the walls cannot be neglected. The numerical results obtained show the presence of vortex density waves in the channel, as shown in a recent paper by means of the one-fluid model.     

Wave-Mean Flow Interactions in Thermally Stratified Poiseuille Flow

We consider nonlinear wave motions in thermally stratified Poiseuille flow. Attention is focused on short wavelength wave modes for which the neutral Reynolds number scales as the square of the wave number. The nonlinear evolution of a single monochromatic wave is governed by a first harmonic/mean-flow interaction theory in which the wave-induced mean flow is comparable in size to the wave component of the flow. An integrodifferential equation is derived which governs the normal variation of the wave amplitude. This equation admits finite-amplitude solutions which bifurcate supercritically from the linear neutral point(s).     

Shock Interactions in Nonequilibrium Hypersonic Flow

A shock interaction problem is solved with finite difference methods for a hypersonic flow of air with chemical reactions. If a body has two concave corners, a secondary shock is formed in the shock layer and it meets the main shock later. As the two shocks meet, the flow becomes singular at the interaction point, and a new main shock, a contact discontinuity and an expansion wave appear as a result of interaction between the two shocks. Therefore, the problem is very complicated. Using proper combinations of implicit and explicit finite difference schemes according to the property of the equations and the boundary conditions, we compute the flow behind the interaction point successfully.     

Production of Sound by Turbulent Flow over an Embedded Strut

An analysis is made of the sound produced during low-Mach-numberturbulent flow over a thin, two-dimensional rigid strut embeddedin a compliant layer. The layer is interposed between the flowand a plane rigid wall, and is modelled by ahomogeneous ‘blanket’of uniform thickness, whose properties are represented by thoseof a fluid of uniform mean density and sound speed. The strutis transverse to the mean flow and projects normally from thewall to an arbitrary distance, but does not make physical contactwith the fluid. Sound is produced by the diffraction by thestrut of the intensive convective pressure fluctuations of theboundary layer. Numerical predictions are made of the radiationinto the fluid, and of the extent to which the diffracted fieldstands out against the background noise of the turbulent boundarylayer.     

Two-Way Interactions Between Equatorially-Trapped Waves and the Barotropic Flow

Lateral energy exchange between the tropics and the midlatitudes is a topic of great importance for understanding Earth＇s climate system. In this paper, the authors address this issue in an idealized set up through simple shallow water models for the interactions between equatorially trapped waves and the barotropic mode, which supports Rossby waves that propagate poleward and can excite midlatitude teleconnection patterns. It is found here that the interactions between a Kelvin wave and a fixed meridionai shear （mimicking the jet stream） generates a non-trivial meridional velocity and meridional convergence in phase with the upward motion that can attain a maximum of about 50%, which oscillates on frequencies ranging from one day to 10 days. When, on the other hand, the barotropic flow is forced by slowly propagating Kelvin waves a complex flow pattern emerges; it consists of a phase-locked barotropic response that is equatoriaily trapped and that propagates eastward with the forcing Kelvin wave and a certain number of planetary Rossby waves that propagate westward and toward the poles as seen in nature. It is suggested here that the poleward propagating waves are to some sort of multi-way resonant interaction with the phase locked response. Moreover, it is shown here that a numerical scheme with dispersion properties that depend on the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, namely the 2D central scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor, can artificially alter significantly the topology of the wave fields and thus should be avoided in climate models.     

Numerical Investigation of the Interaction of Turbulent Wind Flow and Elastic Structures

The Interaction between wind flow and structures plays an important role in the computation of civil engineering application. In case of gravity prestressed membrane roofs, the wind lifting forces may exceed the dead load leading to high amplitude structural oscillations, which interact with the flow field. To investigate the interaction a consistent discretization method based on stabilized space‐time finite elements is applied. The flow field is modeled with the incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier‐Stokes (RANS) equations with an anisotropic eddy‐viscosity turbulence model. The structural motion is described with the theory for geometrically nonlinear elastic deformation behavior, a strong coupling algorithm for the time‐dependent fluid‐structure interaction is implemented. Two applications show the capability of the turbulence model in representing the anisotropic turbulence structure, the differences in the flow field over a bluff body between two configurations representing a rigid and an elastic membrane roof, discusses the structural responses of the roof at a high Reynolds number.
