Abstract The steady impinging jets applied in turbomachine have been comprehensively studied but the pulsating jets still need to be further researched. The flow field and heat transfer characteristics of pulsating impinging jet impinging on a flat plate have been simulated using the improved very large eddy simulation established with SST k–ω model. Two time-mean Reynolds numbers (6,000 and 23,000) in the conditions of frequency = 10Hz and steady state at the constant jet–to–surface distance (6D) were considered. The velocity, vortices, and Nusselt number distributions on the plate surface were investigated to emphasize on the vortex structures in the flow and its relation to the heat transfer. The investigation has revealed the advantage of the improved very large eddy simulation for predicting the dynamical generating process of flow structures in pulsating jets. Calculated results showed pairs of vortices were organized and induced from the jet exit, and propagated along with the jet region periodically. The vortices grew with the entrainment towards the ambient fluid and resulted in accelerated interaction in the wall jet region. Meanwhile, the vortices had strong interaction with the core region and weakened velocity in the core region. Results showed that the time–mean local Nusselt number of pulsating jet was lower in the stagnation region at both investigated Re numbers but not reduced in the wall jet region.

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.

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.

Swirling impinging jet (SIJ) is considered as an effective means to achieve uniform cooling at high heat transfer rates, and the complex flow structure and its mechanism of enhancing heat transfer have attracted much attention in recent years. The large eddy simulation (LES) technique is employed to analyze the flow fields of swirling and non-swirling impinging jet emanating from a hole with four spiral and straight grooves, respectively, at a relatively high Reynolds number (Re) of 16,000 and a small jet spacing of H/D = 2 on a concave surface with uniform heat flux. Firstly, this work analyzes two different sub-grid stress models, and LES with the wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity model (WALEM) is established for accurately predicting flow and heat transfer performance of SIJ on a flat surface. The complex flow field structures, spectral characteristics, time-averaged flow characteristics and heat transfer on the target surface for the swirling and non-swirling impinging jets are compared in detail using the established method. The results show that small-scale recirculation vortices near the wall change the nearby flow into an unstable microwave state, resulting in small-scale fluctuation of the local Nusselt number (Nu) of the wall. There is a stable recirculation vortex at the stagnation point of the target surface, and the axial and radial fluctuating speeds are consistent with the fluctuating wall temperature. With the increase in the radial radius away from the stagnation point, the main frequency of the fluctuation of wall temperature coincides with the main frequency of the fluctuation of radial fluctuating velocity at x/D = 0.5. Compared with 0° straight hole, 45° spiral hole has a larger fluctuating speed because of speed deflection, resulting in a larger turbulence intensity and a stronger air transport capacity. The heat transfer intensity of the 45° spiral hole on the target surface is slightly improved within 5–10%.

The solution accuracy and computational efficiency of high order Large Eddy Simulation (LES) solvers are evaluated on two benchmark open literature blade cascade problems. The first problem concerns wake development in the T106A low pressure turbine cascade [1]. The second problem examines the effect of free-stream turbulence on heat transfer from the VKI first stage high pressure turbine vane [2]. The calculations are performed with two independently developed high order LES solvers using completely different numerical algorithms. The first solver FDL3Di [3] was originally developed at the Airforce Research Laboratory (AFRL) and employs structured overset grids. It uses a sixth order compact finite difference scheme in space along with an implicit Beam-Warming scheme for time marching. The second solver, hpMusic, is developed at the University of Kansas [4]. This is a variable order (up to sixth order) unstructured grid solver employing a discontinuous formulation known as flux reconstruction (FR) / correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR) [5]. The computational grids used are independently tuned for each application. The solvers are benchmarked against experimental data for wake development and blade heat transfer coefficient. Further physical insights in to the test cases are also obtained, filling gaps in experimental results, especially for the VKI problem.
