Abstract:
A model has been proposed for the momentum eddy diffusivity induced by free stream turbulence intensity. The eddy diffusivity model is applied to a sphere situated in a uniform crossflow in the presence of free stream turbulence. Numerical solution of the governing momentum and energy equations with the proposed eddy diffusivity model yielded results for the heat/mass transfer rates. The numerical predictions of the present work are compared with experimental data and the agreement between the two is seen to be very good.
