Numerical prediction of an asymmetrical heated plane jet with a second-moment turbulence closure
Abstract
The paper deals with the application of a second-moment turbulence closure to the calculation of an asymmetrical heated plane jet. Different closure models for the triple velocity and velocity-temperature correlations have been tested. The numerical solutions obtained with a modified Patankar-Spalding finite-difference method, the most important modification being the staggering of the location of nodes for the turbulence variables to mean-field nodes, are compared to the experimental data.
