A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) and method of lines (MOL) approach previously developed for the prediction of transient turbulent, incompressible, confined non-isothermal flows with constant wall temperature was applied to the prediction of turbulent flow and temperature fields in flows dominated by forced convection in circular tubes with strong heating. The code was parallelized in order to meet the high grid resolutions required by DNS of turbulent flows. Predictive accuracy of the code was assessed by validating its steady state predictions against measurements and numerical results available in the literature. Favorable comparisons obtained reveal that the code provides an efficient algorithm for DNS of non-isothermal turbulent flows. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

Numerical simulation of transient turbulent flow in a heated pipe Uygur, Ahmet Bilge; Selçuk, Nevin; Oymak, Olcay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2002) A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the method of lines MOL approach developed previously for the solution of transient two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent, incompressible, internal, non-isothermal flows with constant wall temperature was applied to prediction of turbulent flow and temperature fields in flows dominated by forced convection in circular tubes with strong heating. Predictive ability of the code was tested by comparing its r...
Transient simulation of radiating flows Selçuk, Nevin; Ayranci, I; Tarhan, T (2005-06-01) Time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation by coupling a previously developed direct numerical simulation-based computational fluid dynamics code to an existing radiation code, both based on the method of lines approach. The temperature profiles predicted by the coupled code are validated against steady-state solutions available in the literature for laminar, axisymmetric, hydrodynamically developed flow of a gray, absorbing, emitting fluid in a hea...
Transient simulation of reacting radiating flows Uygur, A. Bilge; Tarhan, Tanil; Selçuk, Nevin (2006-10-01) Laminar methane-air diffusion flame was simulated by coupling a method of lines based parallel direct numerical simulation code with a radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method. The predictions of the code are validated against experimental data as well as numerical results of the same code without radiation model. Comparisons show that incorporation of radiation code to the computational fluid dynamics code results in a significant improvement in the predicted temperatur...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER OF NANOFLUIDS FOR LAMINAR FLOW IN A CIRCULAR TUBE Kirez, Oguz; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; KAKAÇ, SADIK (2012-11-15) In this study, a numerical analysis of heat transfer enhancement of Alumina/water nanofluid in a steady-state, single-phase, laminar flow in a circular duct is presented for the case of constant wall heat flux and constant wall temperature boundary conditions. The analysis is performed with a newly suggested model (Corcione) for effective thermal conductivity and viscosity, which show the effects of temperature and nanoparticle diameter. The results for Nusselt number and heat transfer enhancement are prese...
Heat Transfer Simulation of Rarefied Laminar Flow past a Circular Cylinder Çelenligil, Mehmet Cevdet (2016-07-15) Direct simulation Monte Carlo calculations are performed to study the heat transfer in laminar, rarefied flows past a circular cylinder. Results are obtained for flows with Knudsen numbers of 0.02 and 0.2; Mach numbers of 0.102 and 0.4, and also several cylinder temperatures are considered. Calculations show that these flows are attached except for the one with a Knudsen number of 0.02 and a Mach number of 0.4 in which separation occurs in the wake of the cylinder. Results are little affected by the changes...
