Experimental Study of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Flow in a $90^{\circ}C$ Rectanglar Cross Sectional Strongly Curved Duct

직사각형 단면을 갖는 $90^{\circ}C$ 급곡관 내의 3차원 난류유동에 관한 실험적 연구

In the present study, the steady, incompressible, isothermal, developing flow in a 90.deg. rectangular cross sectional strongly curved duct with aspect ratio 1:1.5 and Reynolds number of 9.4*10$^{4}$ has been investigated. Measurements of components of mean velocities, pressures, and corresponding components of the Reynolds stress tensor are obtained with a hot-wire anemometer and pitot tube. In general, flow in a curved duct is characterized by the secondary vortices which are driven mainly by centrifugal force-radial pressure gradient imbalance, and the stress field stabilizing effects near the convex wall and destablizing effects close to the concave wall. It was found that the secondary mean velocities attain values up to 39% of the bulk velocity and are largely responsible for the convections of Reynolds stress in the cross stream plane. Therefor upstream of the bend the Reynolds stress are low. Corresponding to the small boundary layer thickness. At successive planes, large values of Reynolds stress were observed near the concave surface and the side wall.

본 연구에서는 벽면에서의 압력은 압력측정 정치를 제작하여 측정하였으며 평 균유동 및 난류량들은 열선 유속계(hot wire system)을 사용하여 측정하였다.
