Topic 3: Development of Topic 3: Development of Wall Functions

Wall Functions  Standard Wall Function Assume ‘universal’ logarithmic velocity and temperature profiles in evaluation of wall shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy production and wall temperature. Inaccurate results when flow departs from a state of local equilibrium. Different versions of this WF are available in STAR-CD, Code_Saturne, TEAM and STREAM codes.  Analytical Wall Function Based on the analytical solution of the simplified Reynolds equations and takes into account such effects as convection and pressure gradients as well as the influence of buoyant forces and changes in the thickness of the viscous sublayer. Has proved to be successful in many flow problems e.g. Buoyant flows. Currently available in STREAM and TEAM codes.  Numerical Wall Function Based on an efficient one-dimensional numerical integration of the simplified LRN model equations across near-wall cells. Currently available in STREAM and TEAM codes.

AWF Results in Ascending Pipe Flow

Running STAR-CD for “Spiral Ribs” and measure the effects of CO 2 Particle deposition on the heat transfer. Running TEAM/STREAM codes for mixed convection and ribbed surfaces and evaluate the effectiveness and performance of AWF. Modify the AWF if needed to take into account different flow problems such as ribbed surfaces. Development of Code_Saturne by implementing AWF and validation against TEAM/STREAM Codes. Future Works
