Notes:
Hot flow of a sudden-expansion dump combustor with swirling is analysed by employing an infinite chemical reaction rate. Turbulence properties are closed using one type of algebraic Reynolds stress model and two types of κ-∊ model. One of the κ-∊ models includes a swirling effect modification to the ε-equation. Computations have been performed by the SIMPLE-C algorithm with a power-law scheme. The calculated results of the momentum fields and turbulence quantities for swirling flow are compared with the available experimental data. It is shown that the standard κ-∊ model gives poor prediction of the mean velocity, particularly the tangential velocity. For the hot flow analysis of a sudden-expansion dump combustor with swirling flow it is suggested that it is necessary to use the modified κ-∊ model or algebraic Reynolds stress model.
