Comparison of CFD Calculations with Experiments
This section is organized as follows. First (Section 6.1), results of some sensitivity studies are presented and briefly discussed. These include evaluation of such effects as span-size of the domain, compressibility, time sample used for computing the mean flow and turbulent statistics, and numerical dissipation of the method used. Then, in Section 6.2, a comparison with the experimental data is shown for the main body of simulations carried out within the ATAAC project with the use of the physical and computational problem setups outlined in Section 5.
RESULTS OF SENSITIVITY STUDIES
Effect of span size of domain
As mentioned in Section 4, the aspect ratio of the CT configuration Lz/ D in the BART facility is equal to 12.4. Strictly speaking this demands carrying out simulations exactly at this value of /L/z//D/ and
imposing no-slip boundary conditions on the floor and ceiling of the test section (see Figure 2). However such simulations would be very expensive. Considering this and, also, recommendations of the BANC-I Workshop based on simulations at different /L/z//D/ with periodic boundary conditions in the spanwise directions, most of the simulations in the ATAAC project were performed at /L/z//D/=3 assuming spanwise periodicity. In order to get an idea on how strong the effect of such a simplification could be, NTS conducted a series of simulations at different /L/z//D/. Some results of these simulations are presented below[3].
