Modelling of turbulent flow in a curved combined diffuser
Příhoda, Jaromír ; Šulc, J. ; Sedlář, M. ; Zubík, P.
The paper deals with experimental and numerical modelling of turbulent flow in a curved combined diffuser formed by bend of constant cross-section, straight spacer, and straight one-sided diffuser. For low Reynolds numbers, the combined diffuser gives lower energy losses than optimised curved diffuser.
Analysis of turbulent flow in curved channels and diffusers
Příhoda, Jaromír ; Sedlář, M.
Numerical simulation of flow through curved channels and diffusers of rectangular cross section carried out by means of software CFX-TASCflow was focused on the development of secondary flow and the onset of separation region. Turbulent flow through plane diffusers of rectangular cross section with area ratio AR=1.5 was studied. Further, the effect of the inner wall curvature radius on the flow and losses in diffusers was studied. Results were compared with experiments in water channel.
Design of experimental test rig for the research of the flow in curved diffusers
Sládek, Aleš ; Jonáš, Pavel
The design and construction are described of an experimental rig for the invesstigation of channell-flow and flow in curved diffusers.
Numerické řešení proudění zakřiveným difuzorem
Louda, Petr ; Kozel, K. ; Příhoda, Jaromír
Numerical solution of turbulent flow through a curved diffuser is based on the artificial compressibility method. A cell centered finite volume method is used for spatial discretization. The time discretization uses the backward Euler implicit scheme with turbulence model equations solved decoupled from RANS equations. Results obtained by two different turbulence models - two-equation SST model and EARSM model - are compared and discussed.
Effect of the inner cylindrical wall radius on the flow through a curved diffusser with rectangular cross-section
Příhoda, Jaromír ; Sládek, A. ; Sedlář, M. ; Hyhlík, T.
The paper deals with the numerical simulation of turbulent flow in curved diffusers with rectangular cross-section. Results obtained by CFX and FLUENT software are compared with experiments in a water channel. The effect of the inner cylindrical wall radius on the extent of separation, secondary flow, and on energy losses was investigated for diffusers with 90 deg bend and area ratio AR=1.5.
