Simulation of Multi-Gas Jet Flows by Use of Quasi Gas Dynamic Equation System

Abstract:

In the present paper, we use the quasi gas dynamic (QGD) model together with a finite volume method for the simulation of a gas jet inflowing region filled with another gas in the presence of gravity forces. A flow picture for such flow strongly depends on the gases density ratio. Numerical simulations are held for a region filled with air under atmospheric pressure. Three variants of inflowing gas are considered: methane (light gas), butane (heavy gas) and helium (extremely light gas). A difference between flow pictures for these test cases is demonstrated. Results obtained with the presence of wind in the air are also compared. Grid convergence is established by use of different spatial meshes. Here, the the QGD model demonstrated good efficiency in modeling multi-gas jet flows. The calculations were also used for the adjustment of the numerical method parameters.
