Investigation of Numerical Modeling Techniques for Recirculating Flows: Parts 1 and 2. Final Report, February 1981

摘要

The results of an effort to develop a three-dimensional numerical model for recirculating flows for the purpose of predicting plume recirculation in mechanical draft cooling towers are presented. Part 1 provides a literature review and presents prevailing views of turbulence modeling for various physical problems. A novel model is then presented which adapts the full Reynolds stress equations. Part 2 deals with the cost of the solution of a large set of equations that comprise the mathematical model. Several promising cost-reducing methods are described. (ERA citation 06:015617)
