The Reynolds number (Re), pitch (p), diameter (d), thickness (t) and arrangement style (a) were the design parameters for the study. The changes in these parameters had significant effects on exergy loss rate and effectiveness compared to the results found with the smooth empty tube. The results of the study are given graphically as the change in the exergy loss rate and the change in effectiveness with the number of transfer units (NTU). The largest exergy loss rate and effectiveness values were found to be 0.263 and 0.556, respectively. It was concluded that the effectiveness of the heat exchanger increased with increasing NTU, while the exergy loss rate is decreased. Since the increase in effectiveness will mean an increase in heat transfer, it can also cause an increase in irreversibility. For this reason, multi-performance characteristics have been determined since evaluating the effectiveness together with the exergy loss rate caused by irreversibility will provide more realistic results. Thus, the optimum parameter combination was found, where the maximum effectiveness and the smallest exergy loss rate values were obtained. Finally, the artificial neural network (ANN) model of the study was created and the hyperparameters of the model were determined by the Bayesian optimisation method. In the created ANN model, MSE and R values of effectiveness and exergy loss rate were found as 5.3238e-04, 2.18177e-06 and 0.963, 0.998, respectively. According to these results, it has been confirmed that the proposed ANN model can be used successfully in the modelling of the heat exchanger.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45447587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the effects of skipping spatial points in azimuthal and axial directions and in time have been investigated from a drag reduction point of view. Based on the emergence of a virtual wall that hinders the vertical transport of momentum (i.e. on reduction of Reynolds shear stress production as well as sweep ejection events), flow physics has been explained via statistical analysis of fluctuations, Reynolds shear stresses, and near-wall coherent structures. The spatial density of near-wall vortical structures shows a marked reduction, followed by quadrant contribution analysis of Reynolds shear stresses reveals a decrease in ejection and sweep events, leading to reduced production of Reynolds shear stresses and skin-friction drag.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46596631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that the presence of finite-size particles always attenuate the turbulence, and the attenuation is larger for particles with larger density when the particle diameter is fixed. But the attenuation is smaller for particles with larger diameter if the density is fixed, and the weaker attenuation is due to the wake fluctuation when the particle Reynolds number is large enough. The turbulence kinetic energy is attenuated at the large scales and augmented at the small scales. The radial dissipation profiles show that the region affected by the particles with same diameter is identical, but the dissipation near the particle surface is larger if the density is larger due to larger slip velocity and particle Reynolds number. For particles with same density, smaller particles have smaller dissipation near the particle surface but the influence region is larger, and the combined effect leads to the result that the contribution of dissipation in the influence region of smaller particles to the total dissipation is larger. The influence region mainly depends on the particle diameter.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44379033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Direct numerical simulation is performed for laminar flows and large eddy simulation is performed for turbulent flows. The parametric study shows that a convex rib surface leads to a lower flow ratethan a flat rib for all Reynolds numbers. A concave rib surface firstly increases and then decreases the flow rate as the curvature angle becomes larger, where an optimal curvature angle exists to maximise flow rate. The value of the optimal curvature angle varies with the Reynolds number. A curved rib surface can modify the distribution of the mean velocity and turbulent statistics near the SH wall. Analysis shows that the overall effect of a curved rib surface on the flow rate is the combination of the wetted area augmentation and the change to the spanwise flow interaction, which depends on the curvature angle and the Reynolds number. The SH wall does not change the fundamental structures of near-wall vortices in turbulent flows. The ridge-groove pattern formed by the curved rib surface can provide additional drag reduction similar to that arising from the surface riblets.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47650088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professor Lesieur was a world leader in the field of turbulence, and the founding editor of this journal. Marcel Lesieur graduated from the École Polytechnique and obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Nice. After a period at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), he became a professor of fluid mechanics at the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble. He retired in 2007, and, at the time of his death was Professor Emeritus. At the Laboratoire des écoulements géophysiques et industriels (LEGI) of Grenoble, he established a research group that carried out ground-breaking research on turbulent flows. Members of his research team occupy prestigious positions at Universities, in industry, and in research centres worldwide. His studies focussed on the simulation and modelling of turbulent flows. They spanned theoretical developments, applications to canonical flows and to more realistic configurations. Using the Eddy-Damped Quasi-Normal Markovian theory he developed advanced subgrid-scale models that were later extended to complex geometries. He carried out novel direct and large-eddy simulations of turbulent flows in a variety of configurations relevant to mechanical, environmental, and aerospace engineering, oceanography and meteorology. Among them are stratified and rotating flows, transitional and turbulent boundary layers, and transport of passive scalars. He authored two books; the first one, “Turbulence in Fluids: Stochastic and Numerical Modelling” (1987) was the first treatise on the subject since those by Townsend (1956) and Hinze (1959); it is now on its fourth edition. The second, “Large-Eddy Simulations of Turbulence”, with O. Métais and P. Comte (2005), was probably the first book to be published on this subject. In recognition of his work, Professor Lesieur received several prizes, including the CNRS bronze medal, the Seymour Cray-France prize and the Marcel Dassault Grand Prize from the Académie des Sciences. He was also elected to the Académie des Sciences in 2003. In the editorial sphere, Marcel Lesieur had the vision to predict the potential of onlineonly journals. This vision was realized in 2000, with the first issue of this journal, which he founded.

To cause such flows to turn into their turbulent state requires laminar pipe flows to be triggered externally. Ring-type, wall-mounted obstacles can be used for this purpose, and investigations in this area are of particular interest to the authors’ work, summarized in this paper. In the investigations presented here, however, a special triggering technique was employed that allowed laminar pipe flows to be exposed to obstacle disturbances for only about 30 ms. Individual puffs and slugs could be produced in this way. Comparisons with fixed wall-mounted obstacles showed that the properties of both types of turbulent slugs were the same. Theoretical derivations are described to provide the required obstacle height as a function of the Reynolds number, to trigger fully developed laminar pipe flows to turn into their turbulent state. Corresponding experimental investigations were also performed as described. Very good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was obtained. All this demonstrates that a relatively simple ‘ad hoc theory’ can derive the required height of ring-type, wall-inserted obstacles to trigger laminar pipe flows with parabolic velocity profiles to turn turbulent. Other ways to trigger laminar pipe flows to turn turbulent were also investigated by employing blowers and plenum chambers and varying the lengths and diameters of pipes. It is demonstrated, in a somewhat qualitative way, that the maintenance of laminar pipe flows requires all components of a test rig to be matched to each other to maintain pipe flows laminar.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45450959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calculated mean flow and Reynolds stresses show good agreement with the published experimental data. The effects of temperature difference between the cylinder surface and the freestream on the flow statistics and thermal characteristics are further studied in detail by setting two kinds of wall temperature boundary conditions. It is manifested that increasing the wall temperature leads to the augmentation of skin friction drag, suppression of turbulent intensity, enhancement of flow mixing and extension of recirculation zone. In addition, it is found that the variations of thermo-physical properties pose a slight effect on the wall heat flux before the boundary layer separates from the cylinder surface. It is worth noting that the recirculation bubble length can be used as a distance scaling parameter to weaken the temperature dependence of the flow and thermal statistics. These results provide a more detailed insight into the statistical difference in the wake region of cylinder when the temperature effect is taken into account.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41570673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
