Calculation of turbulent three-dimensional jet induced flow in rectangular enclosures
Abstract
Numerical calculations are presented for two jet induced three-dimensional flows in rectangular enclosures. The computation method uses the three velocity components and pressure as primary variables. Turbulence is modeled by a two-equation model, which incorporates governing equations for kinetic energy of turbulence and its rate of dissipation. Results are compared with available velocity data. Comparisons between measured and predicted results are in general good, although some discrepancies are found. Predicted fields of both mean and isotropic turbulence velocities are shown for both cases.
