Abstract
Large eddy simulations are performed for an unsteady flow and heat transfer in the region of interaction of a circular turbulent jet with a normally positioned flat obstacle (target). Space-filtered Navier-Stokes equations are closed by the RNG model of eddy viscosity, which takes into account the curvature of streamlines in the region of flow turning. The computations are performed for different dimensionless distances between the nozzle exit and the target and for different Reynolds numbers. The dependence between the Nusselt number distribution over the target surface and the vortex structure of the jet is analyzed. The local and integral characteristics of the flow are compared with the data of a physical experiment.
