Effect of the attack angle of the ribs on the flow and heat transfer in a flat channel

The results of numerical simulation of a turbulent flow in a flat channel with periodic inclined ribs by the RANS method are presented. The Reynolds number, calculated from the rib height and the superficial velocity, is Re = 12600. The obtained data are analyzed in order to determine the influence of the inclination angle on heat transfer. It is shown that the optimal angle of inclination, at which the average heat transfer in the channel is maximum, is 60°.

Method for Solving the Problem of Heat Transfer in a Flat Channel

In power engineering, studies related to the distribution of temperatures and velocities in fluids that move, for example, in pipelines or channels, are of theoretical and practical importance. The presented work displays the results of the development of an approximate analytical method for mathematical modeling of the process of heat transfer in laminar flows. By the example of solving the problem of heat transfer in a flat channel with a Couette flow, the main provisions of the method are considered. The combined use of the integral heat balance method and the collocation method made it possible to obtain an analytical solution that is simple in form. The obtained accuracy of solutions depends on the number N of points of the spatial variable at which the original differential equation is exactly satisfied.

Experimental study of the local structure of a bubble flow in a flat channel with sudden expansion

The hydrodynamic structure of the flow in a flat channel with sudden expansion was studied at constant flow rates of liquid and gas in the vertical flow at Re = 6600 and gas content β = 0.03. The measurements were carried out using the PLIF method; and with this view, fluorescent particles for PIV studies and the dye Rhodamine G were added to distilled water. An optical threshold filter was installed on the lens of the video camera. When processing images to obtain data on the local gas content, only bubbles falling into the plane of the laser beam were considered (the boundary glows, casting a shadow).

Numerical simulation of a separated flow in a ribbed channel by the RANS and LES methods

The results of numerical simulation of a turbulent flow in a flat channel in the presence of vortex generators in the form of periodic solid ribs by the RANS and LES method are presented. The Reynolds number calculated by the rib height and the average flow rate is Re = 12600. The influence of the distance between the ribs on the flow structure is investigated. The boundaries of different types of roughness and their influence on the heat transfer intensity are shown.

New Two-Fluid Turbulence Model Based Numerical Simulation of Flow in a Flat Suddenly Expanding Channel

The purpose of the research was to numerically study the structure of the flow in a flat channel in the zone of its sudden step-like expansion. The results of the study are given in the paper. The calculations are carried out with the use of a new two-fluid turbulence model and are based on the numerical solution of a system of nonstationary equations. The profiles of axial velocity and turbulent stress in various sections of the channel before and after the step were obtained, as well as the dependence of the friction coefficient for the lower wall of the channel on the distance after the step. For the difference approximation of the initial equations, the control volume approach was applied; the relationship between the velocities and pressure was found using the SIMPLEC procedure. Meanwhile, the viscosity terms were approximated by the central difference, and for the convective terms the QUICK second-order accuracy scheme was used. To confirm the correctness of the numerical results, we compared them with the experimental data taken from the NASA database for the Reynolds number Re = 36,000. The results obtained using the SA and SST models are also given in the paper. Despite the coarse grid used for numerical calculations, the results based on the new two-fluid turbulence model are not less accurate than the results determined by the RANS models for predicting separated flows in the flat channel in the zone of its sudden backward-facing step expansion
