Abstract
A parabolic numerical analysis procedure has been used to predict the flow in a straight, radial rotating channel of rectangular cross-section, chosen as a simple model of an impeller passage. A two equation turbulence model was employed, with alternative modifications, to include the influence of Coriolis force on turbulent kinetic energy. Alternative Coriolis force terms were evaluated by comparisons in a high-aspect-ratio duct with measured velocity, wall shear stress and turbulent viscosity. Secondary velocity predictions were checked with data from a low-aspect-ratio duct where the Coriolis modification of turbulence was found less influential than the secondary flow in the modification of side wall shear stress.
