A comparative study on the treatment of the turbulent heat flux with the elliptic blending second-moment closure for a natural convection flow is performed. Three cases of different treating the turbulent heat flux are considered. Those are the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (GGDH), the algebraic flux model (AFM) and the differential flux model (DFM). The constants in the models are adjusted with a primary emphasis placed on the accuracy of predicting the local Nusselt number. These models are implemented in a computer code specially designed for evaluation of turbulent models. Calculations are performed for a turbulent natural convection in the 1:5 rectangular cavity and the calculated results are compared with the available experimental data. The results show that the three models produce nearly the same accuracy of solutions. These results show that the GGDH, AFM and DFM models for treating the turbulent heat flux are sufficient for this simple shear flow where the shear production is dominant. It is observed that, in the weakly stratified region at the center zone of the cavity, the vertical velocity fluctuation is nearly zero in the GGDH solutions, which shows that the GGDH model may not be suitable for the strongly stratified flow. Thus, further study on the strongly stratified flow should be followed.

본 연구에서는 개수로 흐름에서 오염물질 이동 현상에 대한 이차흐름의 영향을 분석하였다. 운동량 방정식과 스칼라 수송 방정식에서의 난류 폐합을 위해 레이놀즈응력 모형 및 GGDH 모형을 사용하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 조 세립상의 횡방향 연속구조를 갖는 개수로 흐름에서의 오염물질 이동에 대한 이차흐름의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 이차흐름의 영향으로 인해 최대 농도 값의 발생 위치가 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 농도 분포 역시 정규 분포에서 거리에 따라 점차 왜곡 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 이차흐름의 영향으로 자유수면 근처에서는 매끄러운 하상에 비해 거친 하상에서의 오염물질 농도가 더 크게 발생되었으며, 스칼라-흐름률을 계산한 결과, 오염물질의 수직방향 확산은 매끄러운 하상에 비해 거친 하상에서 더 빨리 진행되는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 농도 분포 변화에 대한 이차흐름 및 스칼라-흐름률의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 스칼라 수송률 분석을 수행하였다.

The ISP-47 TOSQAN experiment was analyzed with containmentFOAM which is an open-source CFD code based on OpenFOAM. The containment phenomena taking place during the experiment are gas mixing, stratification and wall condensation in a mixture composed of steam and non-condensable gas. The k-ω SST turbulence model was adopted with buoyancy turbulence models. The wall condensation model used is based on the diffusion layer approach. We have simulated the full TOSQAN experiment which had a duration 20000 s. Sensitivity studies were conducted for the buoyancy turbulence models with SGDH and GGDH and there were not significant differences. All the main features of the experiments namely pressure history, temperature, velocity and gas species evolution were well predicted by containemntFOAM. The simulation results confirmed the formation of two large flow stream circulations and a mixing zone resulting by the combined effects of the condensation flow and natural convection flow. It was found that the natural convection in lower region of the vessel devotes to maintain two large circulations and to be varied the height of the mixing zone as result of sensitivity analysis of non-condensing wall temperature. The computational results obtained with the 2D mesh grid approach were comparable to the experimental results.
