Abstract Pulsation and acceleration of liquid metal turbulent flow through a horizontal channel has been numerically studied using a large eddy simulation (LES) technique. The effect of inlet pulsation and acceleration on flow and heat transfer characteristics of low Prandtl number liquid metal flow have been investigated and reported here. Results have been presented for different Reynolds numbers, different amplitudes, and frequency with constant bottom wall thickness. The flow field is modeled as unsteady-state two-dimensional incompressible turbulent-forced convection flow. Turbulence is modeled using a LES technique. Two-dimensional unsteady-state heat conduction equation is solved to know the temperature distribution in the solid region. Finite difference method solver is developed for solving the governing equations using sixth-order accuracy of compact schemes. The average Nusselt number shows cyclic variation with respect to time in pulsation flows. The enhancement of heat transfer with pulsation at amplitude 0.4 and frequency 100 Hz is 6.51%. The rate of heat transfer increases in pulsation flow compared to quasi-steady flow. The inlet acceleration shows a significant effect on flow characteristics. The present results are compared with direct numerical simulation (DNS) results available in the literature and matching well with DNS data.

Straight Duct

Large eddy simulations have been performed in straight ducts with square cross section at a global Reynolds number of 49,000 in order to predict the complicated mean and instantaneous flow involving turbulence-driven secondary motion. Isotropic grid systems were used with spatial resolutions of 256 * 642. The secondary flow not only turned out to develop extremely slowly from its initial conditions but also to require fairly high resolution. The obtained statistical results are compared with measurements. These results show that the large eddy simulation (LES) is a powerful approach to simulate the complex turbulence flow with high Reynolds number. Streaklines of fluid particles in the duct show the secondary flow clearly. The database obtained with LES is used to examine a statistical turbulence model and describe the turbulent vortex structure in the fully developed turbulent flow in a straight duct.
