Numerical simulation of turbulent flow and heat transfer in tube under injection of gas through permeable walls

Abstract

Using a differential turbulence model, a numerical simulation of turbulent flow in a tube is carried out and the dependences of the flow and heat transfer characteristics on the intensity of the coolant injection through permeable walls are obtained. It is shown that the coefficients of friction and heat transfer decrease with increasing of injection rate. The comparison of calculation results reflecting the main features of rather complicated processes of flow in tube under gas injection with well-known experimental data over a wide range of the Reynolds number and the intensity of injection show their satisfactory agreement.
