An investigation of swirling flow in a cylindrical tube

An experimental study was performed for measuring velocity and turbulence intensity in a circular tube for Re=10,000, 15,000 and 20,000, with swirl and without swirling flow. The velocity fields were measured using PIV techniques and swirl motion was produced by a tangential inlet condition. Some preliminary measurements indicated that over the first 4 diameter, two regions of flow reversal were set up (the so called 2-cell structure). At the highest Reynolds numbers, the maximum values of the measured axial velocity components had moved toward the test tube wall and produce more flow reversal at the corner of the tube. As the Reynolds number increased, the turbulence intensity of swirling flow at the tube inlet also increased.

The mean velocity vector, time mean axial velocity, turbulence intensity, kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress behind the cylinder are measured before and behind the round cylinder along the test tube. A comparison is included with non swirl flow behind a circular and square cylinder. The recirculation zones are showed asymmetric profiles.     

Investigation of the turbulence characteristics in the swirling flow of a gun-type gas burner with two different hot-wire probes

Mean velocities and turbulence characteristics in the swirling flow of a gun-type gas burner (GTGB) were measured with a triaxial hot-wire probe (T-probe) and compared with previous data measured with an X-type hot-wire probe (Xprobe). Vectors and axial mean velocity data obtained by the measurement of the two types of probes in the horizontal plane and in the cross section differ in magnitude, but have very similar shape in overall distribution. Axial mean velocity components show especially wide differences around the slits and outer part of the swirl vanes within the range of X/R=2. Also, various turbulence intensities appear in a similar trend to axial mean velocity components within the range of X/R=2. The radial component of turbulence intensity around the slits and the outer part of swirl vanes above the range of X/R=2 has an opposite phenomenon. On the whole, the T-probe’s measurements appear smaller than the X-probe’s. This shows that the X-probe is better than the T-probe, especially on the swirling flow because it is much easier to use.

Spatial and temporal variation of turbulence characteristics in combined sewer flow

Flow unsteadiness is a typical feature of both combined and storm sewer flow. The following study therefore deals with both theoretical and experimental investigations of the steady uniform and transient turbulent open-channel flows in a circular conduit with smooth walls as well as over rough sediment deposits. The aim of the study is to define the relationship between flow unsteadiness and selected flow/turbulence characteristics estimated in a circular tube running partially full using the ultrasonic velocity profiler (UVP) method. The temporal/spatial turbulence intensities and the Reynolds stress distribution were identified in the mid-vertical of the pipe. Generally, the absolute values of turbulent characteristics are larger in the rising branch of the hydrograph than in the descending one for the same flow depths. This difference in absolute values is related to the flow equilibrium parameter. Furthermore, the influence of the sediment bed on selected flow/turbulence variables was studied. The results show a strong impact of cross-section geometry on local values of friction velocity, i.e. bottom shear stress, along the wetted perimeter of the channel cross-section. Interestingly, their relative values decreased along with an increase in flow depth.

Comparison of DNS and Reynolds stress modelling of flow around a rotating cylinder

The low Reynolds number stress-omega model is applied to flow associated with a rotating cylinder operating in a larger, stationary cylinder. The working fluid fills the gap between the cylinders. Direct numerical simulation data are used to test the predictions by this turbulence model. Previous work has shown that simpler models are unable to predict with reasonable accuracy the wall shear stress experienced by the rotating cylinder. The present study with a more complex turbulence model shows that the wall shear stress on the rotating cylinder is underestimated significantly. Examination of turbulence velocity fluctuation intensity distributions points to underprediction of the streamwise turbulence level and excessive values of the wall normal turbulence level. Results are given for no shear and a wall shear at the outer cylinder surface but no effect on the inner cylinder statistics was found. An examination of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor components highlights a significant deficiency in this parameter which is an essential component of the pressure-strain modelling of Reynolds stress models. The most significant aspect is a rapid decrease of the streamwise component of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor relative to the direct numerical simulation results and values which are too low for the other two components.     

Experimental and numerical study of the sweep effect on three-dimensional flow downstream of axial flow fans

The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the axial flow fan sweep on the downstream turbulent flow. The fans studied are three low-pressure and low-Mach-number axial flow fans, with respectively a radial, a forward and a backward sweep. Experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigations are carried out on three fans, and the results are compared. The CFD method is a three-dimensional (3D) Reynolds average Navier–Stokes (RANS) numerical simulation with the Reynolds stress model (RSM) as the turbulence model. It allows us to compute the Reynolds stress tensor components. Unsteady velocity measurements are carried out downstream of the fans with hot-wire anemometry. The values of the three velocity components of the flow and the six components of the Reynolds stress tensor obtained from experiments and simulations are compared. Overall performances are also measured to validate the design and fan simulation. It appears that a forward sweep decreases the radial component of the velocity whereas a backward sweep increases this component. Moreover, the sweep has a significant influence on the turbulent kinetic energy downstream of the fan.     

Numerical investigations on swirl intensity decay rate for turbulent swirling flow in a fixed pipe

Due to the importance of predicting the SIDR¹ associated with engineering problems such as combustion chambers, draft tube of the Francis and Kaplan turbines, heat exchanger tubes, separators and so forth, in this research the trend of SIDR and its affecting factors, through a turbulent swirl decay pipe flow have been investigated. The swirling flow is created by means of a rotating honeycomb which produces solid body rotation at the inlet of a fixed pipe. First of all, turbulent swirling decay flow has been numerically surveyed using different flow conditions at the pipe inlet. The numerical results have been validated and compared with the existing experimental data and mathematical relations, showing satisfactory coincide. The obtained results show that, the SIDR depends mainly on the Reynolds number of the passing flow. On this basis, correlations have been proposed in order to improve the predictions of swirl intensity decay rate at upstream regions as well as those with high swirl intensity. In addition, conducted analyses demonstrates (analyses have been made to demonstrate) that the previous developed correlations for predicting swirl intensity decay rate, agree with those provided in this study only for regions far enough from downstream having the low swirl intensity. This implies that the swirl intensity decay rate should be a function of the type of swirl generator at the pipe inlet.     

Swirl effect on the flame propagation at idle in a spark ignition engine

The objectives of the study are to investigate the effect of swirl on the flame propagation and to propose a flame propagation model that predicts the behavior of the flame front in the presence of significant swirl flow field by analyzing flame images pictured with a high speed digital video at idle. The velocity distribution of the charge in the cylinder was measured using an LDV measurement system. From the experimental results and analyses, a new flame propagation model is proposed in which flame frontal locations can be traced by superposing the convective flow field and the uniform expansion speed of the burned gas, and the proposed model reveals that the increase of the flame propagation speed in the presence of swirl motion within 1 ms after ignition is mainly due to the flame stretch, and mainly due to increased turbulence intensity later than 1 ms after ignition.
