Application of a Higher Order GGDH Heat Flux Model to Three-Dimensional Turbulent U-Bend Duct Heat Transfer

摘要

A higher order version of the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (HOGGDH) for turbulent heat flux is applied to predict heat transfer in a square-sectioned U-bend duct. The flow field turbulence models coupled with are a cubic nonlinear eddy viscosity model and a full second moment closure. Both of them are low Reynolds number turbulence models. The benefits of using the HOGGDH heat flux model are presented through the comparison with the standard GGDH.
