Application of the energy-dissipation model of turbulence to the calculation of flow near a spinning disc
Abstract
The generality of the energy-dissipation model of turbulent heat and momentum transport, developed by Jones and Launder (1972, 1973), is tested by applying the model to predict the swirling flows generated by a rotating disk in a quiescent atmosphere. It is found that this turbulence model can predict accurately the flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer near a rotating disk. This is significant for the problem of predicting convective heat transfer rates in turbine disks.
