Redeveloping Turbelent Boundary Layer after Separation-Reattachment(II) -A Consideration on Turbulence Models-

박리-재부착 이후의 재발달 난류경계층 II -난류 모델들에 관한 고찰-

A consideration on the trubulence models for describing the redeveloping turbulent boundary layer beyond separation-reattachment in the flow over a backward-facing step is given through experimental and numerical studies. By considering the blance among the measured values of respective terms in the transport equations for the turbulent kinetic energy and the turbulent shear stress, the recovering process of the redeveloping boundary layer from non-equilibrium to equilibrium has been investigated, which takes place slowly over a substantial distance in the downstream direction. In the numerical study, the standard K-.epsilon. model and the Reynolds stress model have been applied to two kinds of flow regions, one for the entire downstream region after the backward-facing step and another for the downstream region after reattachment. Then the results are compared to a meaningful extent, with the experimental values of the turbulent kinetic energy k, the turbulent energy production term P, the dissipation term K-.epsilon. model, a necessity for a new modelling has been brought forward, which can be also applied to the case of the nonequlibrium turbulent flow.

본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 재발달 경계층에서의 난류에서지 및 난류전단응력에 대한 전달방정식들의 각 항의 측정자료들을 보다 정확히 제시하고 항들간의 균형을 비교 평가함으로써 비평형 유동으로부터 평형유동으로 회복되는 과정을 검토하고, 둘째, 대표적인 난류 모델들로써 표존 k-.epsilon.모델 및 레이놀즈 응력 모델을 사용한 수치계산을 수행함으로써 이와같은 모델들이 비평형 유동을 서술함에 있어 발생될 수 있는 문제점들을 고찰하는데 있다.
