Two nonlinear κ-ε models with the wall function method are applied to the fully developed turbulent flow in a square duct. Typical predicted quantities such as axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses are compared in details both qualitatively and quantitatively with each other. A nonlinear κ-ε model with the wall function method capable of predicting accurately duct flows involving turbulence-driven secondary motion is presented in the present paper. The nonlinear κ-ε model of Shih et al.[1] adopted in a commercial code is found to be unable to predict accurately duct flows with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.

Three nonlinear κ-ε models with the wall function method are applied to the fully developed turbulent flow in a triangular subchannel of a bare rod bundle. Typical predicted quantities such as axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and wall shear stress are compared in details both qualitatively and quantitatively with both each other and experimental data. The nonlinear κ-ε models by Speziale[1] and Myong and Kasagi[2] are found to be capable of predicting accurately noncircular duct flows involving turbulence-driven secondary motion. The nonlinear κ-ε model by Shih et aL.[3] adopted in a commercial code is found to be unable to predict accurately noncircular flows with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.

Flow over a circular cylinder is studied numerically using a turbulence model. Based on the κ-ε-f/sub μ/ model of Park and Sung[6], a new damping function is used. The efficiency of the strain dependent damping function is addressed for vortex-shedding flows past a circular cylinder. The mean velocity and Reynolds stresses are compared with available experimental data at Re/sub D/= 3900. Also, the computational results for the Strouhal number are evaluated at several Reynolds number. The predictions by κ-ε-f/sub μ/ model are in good agreement with the experiments.

Numerical prediction of the diffusion controlled transition in a turbine gas pass is important because it can change the local heat transfer rate over a turbine blade as much as three times. In this study, the gas flow over turbine blade is simplified to the flat plate boundary layer, and an adaptive grid scheme redistributing grid points within the computation domain is proposed with a great emphasis on the construction of the grid control function. The function is sensitized to the second invariant of the mean strain tensor, its spatial gradient, and the interaction of pressure gradient and flow deformation. The transition process is assumed to be described with a κ-ε turbulence model. An elliptic solver is employed to integrate governing equations. Numerical results show that the proposed adaptive grid scheme is very effective in obtaining grid independent numerical solution with a very low grid number. It is expected that present scheme is helpful in predicting actual flow within a turbine to improve computation efficiency.

A computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis has been made for fully developed turbulent flow in a triangular bare rod bundle with a pitch to diameter ratio (P/D) of 1.123. The nonlinear turbulence models predicted the turbulence-driven secondary flow in the triangular subchannel. The nonlinear quadratic κ-ε models by Speziale[1] and Myong-Kasagi[2] predicted turbulence structure in the rod bundle fairly well. The nonlinear quadratic and cubic k-ε models by Shih et al.[3] and Craft et al.[4] showed somewhat weaker anisotropic turbulence. The differential Reynolds stress model by Launder et al.[5} appeared to over predict the turbulence anisotropy in the rod bundle.

Nonlinear relationship between Reynolds stresses and the rate of strain of nonlinear k-$\varepsilon$models is evaluated theoretically by using the boundary layer assumptions against the turbulence-driven secondary flows in noncircular ducts and then their prediction performance is validated numerically through the application to the fully developed turbulent flow in a square duct. Typical predicted quantities such as mean axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses are compared with available experimental data. The nonlinear k-$\varepsilon$ model adopted in a commercial code is found to be unable to predict accurately duct flows with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.

Fully developed turbulent flow in a square duct is numerically predicted with two nonlinear low-Reynolds-number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ models. Typical predicted quantities such as axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses are compared in detail with each other. It is found that the nonlinear low-Reynolds-number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model adopted in a commercial code is unable to predict accurately duct flows involving turbulence-driven secondary motion with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.

Numerical Analysis has been done for the supersonic off-design jet flow due to the pressure difference between the jet and the ambient fluid. The difference of pressure generates an oblique shock or an expansion wave at the nozzle exit. The waves reflect repeatedly on the center axis and the sonic surface in the shear layer. The pressure difference is resolved across these reflected waves. In this paper, the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equation has been used with the κ-ε turbulence model. The second order TVD scheme with flux limiters, based on the flux vector split with the smooth eigenvalue split, has been used to capture internal shocks and other discontinuities. Numerical calculations have been done to analyze the off-design jet flow due to the pressure difference. The variation of pressure along the flow axis is compared with an experimental result and other numerical result. The characteristics of the interaction between the shock cell and the turbulence mixing layer have been analyzed.

비유선형 물체 주위의 유동은 정체유동, 경계층 박리 및 재부착, 주기적 와열의 생성등의 복잡한 유동현상이 공존한다. 이와 같은 유동의 2-방정식 난류모델을 이용한 정확한 예측은 일반적으로 불가능 하다고 인식되어 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 기존의 비교적 단순한 난류모델을 활용한 정사각주 주위의 비정상 난류유동의 예측 가능성을 체계적으로 규명하였다. 적절한 난류모델의 선정과 더불어 시간 정확도, 공간 정확도 및 대류항 처리법 등이 해석의 결과에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보았다. 기존의 표준 κ-ε모델은 정체점 주위에서 난류생성항의 과도한 예측으로 말미암아 재부착 및 와열생성의 정확한 예측이 불가능 하였으나, RNG κ-ε 모델을 사용한 경우 이와 같은 현상을 제거 할 수 있었다. 그러나 이 경우에도 예측의 정확도가 시간 증분, 격자의 크기 및 대류항 처리법 등에 영향을 받았으며, 특별히 대류항 처리법에 따라 상당히 민감하게 변하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
