SIMULATION OF SWIRLING TURBULENT FLOWS OF COAXIAL JETS IN A COMBUSTOR

Pages 189-199 | Published online: 29 Oct 2010
 

Abstract

A numerical simulation of swirling turbulent flows of coaxial jets in a combustor is presented in this paper. The new algebraic Reynolds stress model (ASM) is employed for the closure of the time-averaged governing equations for swirling turbulent flows. Two cases of the swirling flow, i.e., a coswirl jet flow and a counterswirl jet flow, are simulated. The calculated results of the axial and tangential velocities, static pressure, and turbulent fluctuating velocity are compared with the measured data for both cases. The results illustrate that the predictions by the new ASM are closer to the measurements than those obtained by the k-epsilon model.
