We report on a systematic study for Reynolds–Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) modeling and simulations of turbulent annular pipe flow. Several simulations were performed using the most readily-available RANS models in the open-source library OpenFOAM. A customized 1-D RANS solver was also developed for ease of analysis. The focus of the study is on the reproduction of the mean velocity profile, its maximum, and maximum radial location, as well as modeled low-order fluctuation statistics. The flow in the annular gap is characterized by a radius ratio of 0.1, and a Reynolds number equal to \(Re_{\tau ^*} = 600\) that is based on a mean friction velocity. Deviations from the mean velocity profile are observed for all RANS models investigated when compared with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) reference data. The representation of the near-wall outer cylinder flow is better than that of the near-wall inner cylinder flow.

摘要

We report on a systematic study for Reynolds–Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) modeling and simulations of turbulent annular pipe flow. Several simulations were performed using the most readily-available RANS models in the open-source library OpenFOAM. A customized 1-D RANS solver was also developed for ease of analysis. The focus of the study is on the reproduction of the mean velocity profile, its maximum, and maximum radial location, as well as modeled low-order fluctuation statistics. The flow in the annular gap is characterized by a radius ratio of 0.1, and a Reynolds number equal to \(Re_{\tau ^*} = 600\) that is based on a mean friction velocity. Deviations from the mean velocity profile are observed for all RANS models investigated when compared with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) reference data. The representation of the near-wall outer cylinder flow is better than that of the near-wall inner cylinder flow.
