Abstract:Tensor representation theory is used to derive an explicit algebraic model that consists of an explicit algebraic stress model (EASM) and an explicit algebraic heat flux model (EAHFM) for two-dimensional (2-D) incompressible non-isothermal turbulent flows. The representation methodology used for the heat flux vector is adapted from that used for the polynomial representation of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor. Since the methodology is based on the formation of invariants from either vector or tensor basis sets, it is possible to derive explicit polynomial vector expansions for the heat flux vector. The resulting EAHFM is necessarily coupled with the turbulent velocity field through an EASM for the Reynolds stress anisotropy. An EASM has previously been derived by Jongen and Gatski [10]. Therefore, it is used in conjunction with the derived EAHFM to form the explicit algebraic model for incompressible 2-D flows. This explicit algebraic model is analyzed and compared with previous formulations including its ability to approximate the commonly accepted value for the turbulent Prandtl number. The effect of pressure-scrambling vector model calibration on predictive performance is also assessed. Finally, the explicit algebraic model is validated against a 2-D homogeneous shear flow with a variety of thermal gradients. Dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Charles G.
