Numerical Simulation of Plug Discharge with Dissolved Oxygen Convection and Diffusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

In Fluent, the 3-D RNG k- ξ mathematical model is employed to compute the plug discharge, and dissolved oxygen convection and diffusion model is established to simulate the concentration distribution of dissolved oxygen with user defined scalar method. Velocity, pressure, turbulence kinetic energy, turbulence dissipation rate and dissolved oxygen concentration are computed. Then, velocity, pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration are compared with the data of physical model, and they agree with each other approximately, showing it is valid and reliable to compute the plug discharge and dissolved oxygen concentration with the coupled model. Furthermore, the characteristics of hydraulic factors including dissolved oxygen concentration are analyzed and generalized based on the computational results.
