Abstract

Hie focus of this paper is on validation and application of a new one equation eddy viscosity model derived from k-eo closure for three-dimensional flows in serpentine difrusers (S-ducts). The S-duct’s geometry produces streamline curvature and an adverse pressure gradient resulting in flow separation. Two S-duct geometries are employed in this investigation - one was used in an experimental study conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center in the early 1990‘s and the other is a benchmark configuration proposed by AIAA Propulsion Aerodynamics Workshop (PAW7). The CFD flow solver ANSYS Fluent is used for flow calculations. Results from the new model, the commonly used Spalart-Alhnaras (SA) and the Shear-Stress-Transport (SST) k-ω models are compared to the available experimental data.
