Numerical study of a swirling turbulent flow through a channel with an abrubt expansion
A strongly swirling turbulent flow through an abrupt expansion is studied using the highly resolved DNS, LES, and SAS to shed more light on a stagnation region and spiral vortex destruction, though these methods require high computational expenses. The vortex fracture induced by a sudden expansion resembles the so-called vortex rope that occurs in hydropower draft tubes. It is known that large-scale spiral vortex structures can be captured by regular RANS turbulence models. In this paper, a numerical study of a strongly swirling flow, which abruptly expands, is carried out using the Reynolds stress models SSG / LRR-RSM and EARSM with experimental measurements implemented by Dellenback et al. (1988). Calculations are carried out using the finite volume method. The flow dynamics is studied at the Reynolds number of 3.0 x 104 at almost constant large swirl numbers of 0.6. The time-averaged velocity and pressure fields, as well as the root-mean-square values of the velocity fluctuations are recorded and studied qualitatively. The obtained results are compared with known experimental data. The aim of this work is to test the ability of the models to describe anisotropic turbulence. It is shown that the SSG / LRR-RSM model is more appropriate for studying such flows.
