To overcome weak poinks of the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model when applied to complex turbulent flows, various modified models were proposed. But their effects are confined to special flow fields. They have still some problems. Recently, an anisotropic k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was also proposed to solve the drawback of the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. This study is concentrated on the evaluation of the anisotropic k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model by the analysis of axisymmetric swirling turbulent flow. Results show that the anisotropic k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model has scarecely the fundamentally physical mechanism of predicting the swirling structure of flow.

A diffuser, an important equipment to change kinetic energy into pressure energy, has been studied for a long time. Though experimental and theoretical researches have been done, the understanding of energy transfer and detailed mechanism of energy dissipation is unclear. As far as numerical prediction of diffuser flows are concerned, various numerical studies have also been done. On the contrary, many turbulence models have constraint to the applicability of diffuser-like complex flows, because of anisotropy of turbulence near the wall and of local nonequilibrium induced by an adverse pressure gradient. The existing $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence models have some problems in the case of being applied to complex turbulent flows. The purpose of this paper is to test the applicability of the nonlinear $k-{\epsilon}$ model concerning diffuser-like flows with expansion and streamline curvature. The results show that the nonlinear $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model predicted well the coefficient of pressure, velocity profiles and turbulent kinetic energy distributions, however the shear stress prediction was failed.

Turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics around staggered tube bundles were studied using a non-orthogonal boundary fitted coordinate system and the low Reynolds .kappa. - .epsilon. turbulence model suggested by Lam and Bremhorst. The predicted flow characteristics for two tube pitches and tube arrangement showed good agreement with the experimental data except the strongly curved region. The predicted Nusselt number was compared with measurements obtained in the staggered rough bundles and it revealed the similar trend to measurements, but the location of the maximum and minimum heat transfer differed somewhat from the measurements.

Series of recent k-.epsilon. model modification have been carried out with the aid of DNS data to include the effect of near wall. Though these methods opened new way of turbulence modelings, newly developed turbulence models of its kind had yet shortcomings in prediction for the turbulent flows with various Reynolds numbers and various geometric conditions. As a remedy for these shortcomings, a new k-.epsilon. model proposed here by improving the dissipation rate equation and the damping function for eddy viscosity model. The new dissipation rate equation was modeled based on the energy spectrum and magnitude analysis. The damping function for eddy viscosity was also formulated on the ground of distribution of dissipation rate length scales near a wall and the DNS data. The new k-.epsilon. model was applied to the fully developed turbulent flows in a channel and a pipe with a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Prediction results showed that the present model represents properly the turbulence properties in all turbulent regions over a wide range of Reynolds numbers.

본 논문은 식생된 개수로 흐름에서 난류의 비등방성이 평균유속 및 난류구조에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 수치모의 연구이다. 비등방성 난류모형인 레이놀즈응력모형을 이용하여 식생이 없는 일반 개수로 흐름과 침수 및 정수식생된 개수로 흐름에서의 평균유속 및 난류구조를 수치모의하였다. 수치모의 결과를 기존의 실험결과 및 k-$\epsilon$ 모형과 응력대수식모형에 의한 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 식생이 없는 일반 개수로 흐름과 정수식생된 개수로 흐름에서의 평균유속과 레이놀즈응력을 계산한 결과 등방성 및 비등방성 난류모형에 의한 해석 결과의 차이가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 즉, 난류의 비등방성의 영향이 매우 작은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 자유수면 및 바닥 근처에서 발생되는 난류의 감쇠효과에 의한 난류의 비등방성은 레이놀즈응력이 가장 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 침수식생된 개수로 흐름의 경우 식생높이 부근에서 난류의 비등방성이 강하게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 계산된 평균유속 및 난류구조는 레이놀즈응력모형이 다른 모형 보다 가장 정확한 예측을 수행하였으며, 등방성 모형인 k-$\epsilon$ 모형은 식생높이 보다 높은 영역에서 평균유속 및 난류강도를 각각 과대 및 과소 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 계산된 결과를 이용하여 식생된 개수로 흐름에서의 부유사량을 산정한 결과 등방성 난류모형이 부유사량을 과소 산정하는 것으로 나타났다.

Comprehensive numberical computations have been made for four turbulent swirling jets with and without recirculation to critically evaluate the accuracy and universality of several exising turbulence models as well as of the modified k-.epsilon. model proposed in the present study. A numerical scheme based on the full Navier-Stoke equations ha been developed and used for this purpose. Inlet conditions are given by experiments, whenever possible, to minimize the error due to incorrect initial conditions. The standard k-.epsilon. model performs well for the strongly swirling jets with recirculation while it underpredicts the influence of swirl for weakly swirling jets. Rodi's swirl correction and algebraic stress model do not exhibit universality for the swirling jets. The present modified k-.epsilon. model derived from algebraic stress model accounts for anisotropy and streamline curvature effect on turbulence. This model performs consistently better than others for all cases. It may be because these flows have a strong dependence of stresses on the local strain of the mean flow. The predictions of truculence intensities indicate that this model successfully reflect the curvature effect in swirling jets, i.e. the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of swirl on turbulence transport.

Turbulence models are separately assessed for a three dimensional thermal-hydraulic analysis of the integral reactor SMART. Seven models (mixing length, k-l, standard $k-{\epsilon},\;k-{\epsilon}-f{\mu},\;k-{\epsilon}-v2$, RRSM, and ERRSM) are investigated for flat plate channel flow, rotating channel flow, and square sectioned U-bend duct flow. The results of these models are compared to the DNS data and experiment data. The results are assessed in terms of many aspects such as economical efficiency, accuracy, theorization, and applicability. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model (high Reynolds model), the $k-{\epsilon}-v2$ model, and the ERRSM (low Reynolds models) are selected from the assessment results. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model using small grid numbers predicts the channel flow with higher accuracy in comparison with the other eddy viscosity models in the logarithmic layer. The elliptic-relaxation type models, $k-{\epsilon}-v2$, and ERRSM have the advantage of application to complex geometries and show good prediction for near wall flows.

A mixed analytical/numerical method is developed here to solve the low Reynolds number kepsilon turbulence model. In this method the advection-diffusion part is solved numerically, while the source terms are split into two parts: one part is solved analytically and the next is solved numerically.

The primary objective of the present study is evaluation of the k-ε-vv-f turbulence model for prediction of natural convection in a rectangular cavity. As a comparative study, the two-layer k-ε model is also considered. Both models, with and without algebraic heat flux model, are applied to the analysis of natural convection in a rectangular cavity. The performances of turbulence models are investigated through comparison with available experimental data. The predicted results of vertical velocity component, turbulent heat fluxes, turbulent shear stress, local Nusselt number and wall shear stress are compared with experimental data. It is shown that, among the turbulence models considered in the present study, the k-ε-vv-f model with an algebraic heat flux model predicts best the vertical mean velocity and velocity fluctuation, and the inclusion of algebraic heat flux model slightly improves the accuracy of results.
