Prediction of Turbulent Diffusing Flows Using FUN3D
Abstract
The FUN3D code was used to perform Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations to compute subsonic flow in an S-duct diffuser and transonic flow in a two-dimensional diffuser using the Speziale-Sarkar-Gatski/Launder-Rodi-Reece (SSG/LRR) Reynolds stress model (RSM). For comparison purposes, additional simulations were run with the one-equation Spalart-Allmaras (SA) and the two-equation Menter Shear-Stress Transport (SST) turbulence models. Each model was run with and without the quadratic constitutive relation (QCR) for computing the turbulent stresses. It was shown that the simulations that utilized the RSM had better overall predictions of the diffusive flow fields compared to the simulations that utilized the one and two equation turbulence models.
