Determination of wind turbine far wake using actuator disk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The growth in size of wind turbines over the last years is significant. The rotor diameter becomes somehow comparable to atmospheric boundary layer at the land surface. In this case the assumption of uniform velocity of upcoming wind cannot be valid. The

RANS and LES Simulations of Localized Pollutant Dispersion Around High-Rise Buildings Under Varying Temperature Stratifications

open access: yesAtmosphere
This research investigates the influence of buildings on the flow pattern and pollutant spread under different temperature stratification scenarios. Using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations alongside the large eddy simulation (LES) model ...

Modelling and Simulation of Effusion Cooling—A Review of Recent Progress

open access: yesEnergies
Effusion cooling is often regarded as one of the critical techniques to protect solid surfaces from exposure to extremely hot environments, such as inside a combustion chamber where temperature can well exceed the metal melting point.

Application of Lattice Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes Methods to NASA's Wall Mounted Hump [PDF]

open access: yes
Lattice Boltzmann (LB) based Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) as well as hybrid RANS/LES methods within the Launch Ascent and Vehicle Aerodynamics (LAVA) solver framework are applied to NASA's wall-mounted hump ...

Optimising UCNS3D, a High-Order finite-Volume WENO Scheme Code for arbitrary unstructured Meshes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
UCNS3D is a computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) code for the simulation of viscous flows on arbitrary unstructured meshes. It employs very high-order numerical schemes which inherently are easier to scale than lower-order numerical schemes due to the ...

Evaluation of near-wall solution approaches for large-eddy simulations of flow in a centrifugal pump impeller

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2016
The turbulent flow in a centrifugal pump impeller is bounded by complex surfaces, including blades, a hub and a shroud. The primary challenge of the flow simulation arises from the generation of a boundary layer between the surface of the impeller and ...

Lagrangian stochastic modeling of acceleration in turbulent wall-bounded flows

open access: yes, 2019
The Lagrangian approach is natural to study issues of turbulent dispersion and mixing. We propose in this work a general Lagrangian stochastic model including velocity and acceleration as dynamical variables for inhomogeneous turbulent flows.
