Simulation of Axial Flow in a Bare Rod Bundle Using a Non-Linear Turbulence Model With High and Low Reynolds Approximations
Keyword(s):
This work presents a numerical investigation of fully developed turbulent flow in a triangular sub-channel of a bare rod bundle using a Non-Linear Eddy Viscosity Model (NLEVM). The numerical technique employed for discretizing the governing equations is the control-volume method with a boundary-fitted non-orthogonal coordinate system. The SIMPLE algorithm was used to correct the pressure field. The classical wall function and a low Reynolds model were used in order to handle flow calculations near the wall. In this work, the influence of constants of calibration existing in the non-linear terms of the model is analyzed.
