Center for Modeling of Turbulence and Transition (CMOTT): Research Briefs, 1992
The progress is reported of the Center for Modeling of Turbulence and Transition (CMOTT). The main objective of the CMOTT is to develop, validate and implement the turbulence and transition models for practical engineering flows. The flows of interest are three-dimensional, incompressible and compressible flows with chemical reaction. The research covers two-equation (e.g., k-e) and algebraic Reynolds-stress models, second moment closure models, probability density function (pdf) models, Renormalization Group Theory (RNG), Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS)
Investigations of flowfields found in typical combustor geometries
The flowfields of gas turbine combustion chambers were investigated. Six flowfield configurations with sidewall angles alpha = 90 and 45 deg. and swirl vane angles phi = 0, 45 and 70 deg. are characterized. Photography of neutrally-buoyant helium-filled soap bubbles, tufts, and injected smoke helps to characterize the time-mean streamlines, recirculation zones and regions of highly turbulent flow. Five-hole pitot probe pressure measurements allow the determination of time-mean velocities u, v and w. An advanced computer code equipped with a standard two-equation kappa-epsilon turbulence model was used to predict corresponding flow situations and to compare results with the experimental data
