摘要
A numerical study of unsteady single-phase vortical flow inside a cyclone is presented. Two different geometric configurations have been considered, with the goal of assessing several different turbulence modelling approaches for this class of problem. The models investigated include three Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes models: a commonly used two-equation eddy-viscosity model, a differential Reynolds stress model (DRSM) and an eddy-viscosity model sensitised to rotational and curvature (RC) effects which was recently developed and implemented into a commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code by the authors. Results were also obtained using large eddy simulation (LES). The computational results are analysed and compared with available experimental data. The RC-sensitised eddy-viscosity model shows significant improvement over the standard eddy-viscosity model. The RC-sensitised model, DRSM and LES model predictions of the mean flowfield are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results suggest that curvature- and rotation-sensitive eddy-viscosity models may provide a practical alternative to more computationally intensive approaches.
