The Wall-modeled Large-eddy Simulation (WMLES) methods are commonly accompanied with an underprediction of the skin friction and a deviation of the velocity profile. The widely-used Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) method is suggested to improve the prediction of the mean skin friction when it acts as WMLES, as claimed by the original authors. However, the model tested only on flow configurations with no heat transfer. This study takes a systematic approach to assess the performance of the IDDES model for separated flows with heat transfer. Separated flows on an isothermal wall and walls with mild and intense heat fluxes are considered. For the case of the wall with heat flux, the skin friction and Stanton number are underpredicted by the IDDES model however, the underprediction is less significant for the isothermal wall case. The simulations of the cases with intense wall heat transfer reveal an interesting dependence on the heat flux level supplied; as the heat flux increases, the IDDES model declines to predict the accurate skin friction.

To improve gas turbine efficiency, engine manufacturers increase both the overall compressor pressure ratio and the turbine inlet temperature, resulting into a higher thermal load of the combustion chamber walls. Cooling systems such as multi-perforated plates are in this context good candidates to lower the thermal constraints on the liners. Such technological devices consist in introducing, through submillimetric holes, a cold air flow into the boundary layer of the chamber wall. Though commonly used in industrial applications, perforations with an angle of deviation, i.e. not aligned with the main flow, have not been studied in most experimental and numerical studies. The deviation angle impacts the liner temperature by modifying the flow structure around the plate. Conjugate heat transfer computations coupling Large Eddy Simulation and heat conduction are performed on streamwise and 45 angled configurations composed of 12 rows at an operating point representative of helicopter combustors to analyze the effect of the deviation. The flow organization around the plate is modified, yielding different heat flux distribution and plate temperature. The major differences are observed within the perforations where the heat flux coefficient increases up to 54% in the configuration with deviation.

Large eddy simulation has been carried out of turbulent flow and heat transfer around a circular cylinder in crossflow at three subcritical Reynolds numbers (Re = 3,900, 10,000, 18,900) where the flow and heat transfer characteristics change rapidly with the Reynolds number. The computations were carried out using a second-order-accurate finite-volume Navier-Stokes solver that permits use of arbitrary unstructured meshes. A fully implicit, non-iterative fractional-step method was employed to advance the solution in time. The subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulent stresses and heat fluxes were modeled using the dynamic Smagorinsky model. The LES predictions were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data of Hajime and Igarashi (2004). The salient features of turbulent heat transfer in subcritical regime such as the laminar thermal boundary layer and the rapid increase with Reynolds number both in the mean and the r.m.s. Nusselt number in the separated region are closely reproduced by the predictions. The numerical results confirmed that the heat transfer characteristics are closely correlated with the structural change in the underlying flow with the Reynolds number.

Flow Features

This study addresses and evaluates the use of high fidelity Large Eddy Simulation (LES) for the prediction of Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) of an impinging jet at a Reynolds number of 23 000, a Mach number of 0.1 and for a nozzle to plate distance of H/D = 2. For such simulations mesh point localization as well as the turbulent model and the numerical scheme are known to be of primary importance. In this context, a compressible unstructured third order in time and space LES solver is assessed through the use of WALE sub-grid scale model in a wall-resolved methodology. All simulations discussed in this document well recover main unsteady flow features (the jet core development, the impinging region, the deviation of the flow and the wall jet region) as well as the mean statistics of velocity. Convergence of the wall mesh resolution is investigated by use of 3 meshes and predictions are assessed in terms of wall friction and heat flux. The meshes are based either on full tetrahedral cells or on a hybrid strategy with prism layers at the wall and tetrahedral elsewhere. The hybrid strategy allows reaching good discretization of the boundary layers with a reasonable number of cells. Unsteady flow features retrieved in the jet core, shear layer, impinging region and wall jet region are analyzed and linked to the unsteady and mean heat flux measured at the wall. To finish, a LES based CHT computation relying on the finer grid is used to access the plate temperature distribution. Nusselt number profiles along the plate for the isothermal and the coupled cases are also provided and compared.
