| 内容記述 | Near-wall modeling of the dissipation rate equation is investigated and its asymptotic behavior is studied in detail using a k-epsilon model. It is found that all existing modeled dissipation rate equations predict an incorrect behavior for the dissipation rate near a wall. An improvement is proposed and the resulting near-wall dissipation rate distribution is found to be similar to that given by numerical simulation data. To further validate the improved k-epsilon model, it is used to calculate flat-plate turbulent boundary-layer flows at high- as well as low-turbulence Reynolds numbers, and the results are compared with measurements, numerical simulation data, and the calculations of three different two-equation models. These comparisons show that all the models tested give essentially the same flow properties away from the wall; significant differences only occur in a region very close to the wall. In this region, the calculations of the improved k-epsilon model are in better agreement with measurements and numerical simulation data. In particular, the modeled distribution of the dissipation rate is significantly improved and a maximum is predicted at the wall instead of away from the wall. Furthermore, the improved k-epsilon model is found to be the most asymptotically consistent among the four different two-equation models examined. |
