Abstract
A direct solution for the turbulent channel flow problem is attempted, using a set of dynamical equations based on a Lagrangian transport formalism along with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. The approach is based on the first principles of momentum and kinetic energy balance, derived for a control volume moving at the local mean velocity. The results are compared with DNS results by Lee and Moser (2015). In addition to providing a reasonably accurate mean velocity and Reynolds stress solutions, the method casts some insight on the origin of the dynamical structure in wall-bounded turbulent flows.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow welcomes high-quality original contributions on experimental, computational, and physical aspects of convective heat transfer and fluid dynamics relevant to engineering or the environment, including multiphase and microscale flows.
Papers reporting the application of these disciplines to design and development, with emphasis on new technological fields, are also welcomed. Some of these new fields include microscale electronic and mechanical systems; medical and biological systems; and thermal and flow control in both the internal and external environment.
