Abstract
This study introduces a novel open boundary treatment method for simulating thermal plumes in natural convection, utilizing a combination of the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) and local one-dimensional inviscid (LODI) methods within a compressible flow solver for Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). This innovative approach significantly reduces the size of the computational domain yet effectively captures the complex transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Validation of the proposed methodology includes comparisons with existing empirical formulations, experimental data, and well-resolved DNS results, incorporating both time-averaged and spectral analyses. Additionally, the buoyancy-induced laminar-turbulent transition is investigated to enhance understanding of the dynamics and behaviors of thermal plumes. The findings offer insights into optimizing computational efficiency without compromising the accuracy needed to analyze intricate fluid dynamics in thermal engineering applications.
本研究介绍了一种用于模拟自然对流中热羽流的新型开放边界处理方法,该方法在直接数值模拟(DNS)的可压缩流求解器中结合使用了完美匹配层(PML)和局部一维不粘性(LODI)方法。这种创新方法大大缩小了计算域的大小,但却能有效捕捉从层流到湍流的复杂过渡。对所提方法的验证包括与现有经验公式、实验数据和解析度较高的 DNS 结果进行比较,包括时间平均分析和频谱分析。此外,还研究了浮力诱导的层流-湍流过渡,以加深对热羽流动力学和行为的理解。研究结果为优化计算效率提供了启示,同时又不影响分析热工程应用中复杂流体动力学所需的精度。
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
