Abstract
In the present study, large eddy simulation (LES) for turbulent flows through square ducts with four rounded corners is performed using immersed boundary (IB) method. The geometrical shape of the duct is determined by an equation |y|α+ |z|α= Rα with a deformation parameter α. The distribution and magnitude of the mean secondary flow with α≧4 is almost close to those of the square-duct case. The center position of secondary circulation flows with α≦4 approaches the square-side bisector in contrast to the square-duct case. The profiles of the Reynolds stress and behaviour of the instantaneous turbulent structures in case of α≧4 are similar with those in square duct case.
