Computation of Mean Flow and Thermal Characteristics of Incompressible Turbulent Offset Jet Flows

Abstract

Two-dimensional, steady, incompressible, forced convection turbulent flow at high Reynolds number is considered. Mean velocity and thermal characteristics are presented for the wall and offset jet flows. The standard k–ϵ model is used. Finite volume-based SIMPLE algorithm is followed and the powerlaw scheme is used for the convective terms. The developed code is tested for offset flow and compared with the experimental results. Computational details of various mean flow and turbulent parameters (k, ϵ, ν _t) are presented and explained for different offset ratios (OR).
