Large Eddy Simulation with Three Kinds of Sub-Grid Scale Model on Temperature Fluctuation of Hot and Cold Fluids Mixing in a Tee

Abstract:

In the present work the temperature fluctuations in a mixing tee were simulated on FLUENT platform using the large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulent flow model with three kinds of sub-grid scale (SGS) models such as Smagorinsky-Lilly (SL) model, Wall-adapted Local Eddy-viscosity (WALE) model, and Kinetic-energy transport (KET) model. The normalized mean and root mean square temperatures were predicted and analyzed with consideration of buoyancy. The numerical results showed that buoyancy greatly influences the mixing flow and the thermal striping phenomena were quite obvious. These three SGS models have somewhat similar accuracies for prediction of the temperature fluctuation and thermal stripping in a tee of mixing hot and cold fluids.
