Abstract:Velocity fluctuations in a mixing T-junction were simulated in FLUENT using large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulent flow model with sub-grid scale (SGS) Smagorinsky-Lilly (SL) model. The normalized mean and root mean square velocities are used to describe the time-averaged velocities and the velocities fluctuation intensities. Comparison of the numerical results with experimental data shows that the LES model is valid for predicting the flow of mixing in a T-junction junction. The numerical results reveal the velocity distributions and fluctuations are basically symmetrical and the fluctuation at the upstream of the downstream of the main duct is stronger than that at the downstream of the downstream of the main duct.
