Best Practice Advice
Best Practice Advice for the UFR
The best practice advice is based on the only known and available numerical computation performed by Wang (1991).
Key Physics:
- turbulent flow with streamline curvature, axi-symmetric separation and flow re-attachment
Numerical Modelling Issues:
- an two-dimensional axi-symmetric calculation captures the main features of the flow
- a grid with 128x28 cells with a refinement near the orifice allowed an accurate prediction of the re-attachment length
- a second order scheme for the diffusion terms and a hybrid scheme for the convective terms is advisable
- the computational domain needs to insure a long enough inflow and outflow region
Physical Modelling:
- the standard k-ε turbulence model with wall functions can provide a reasonable good prediction of the turbulent kinetic energy field
- the result for mean velocities and turbulence intensities seems to be quite sensitive to the specification of the dissipation rate at the inlet cross-section
Recommendation for Future Work:
- the application of a full Reynolds stress turbulence model should be able also to predict the anisotropy of the turbulence and will also allow to predict the shear stresses
