Abstract:In the present paper, large-eddy simulation (LES) based on commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT for prediction of flow and heat transfer in a mixing T-junction was completed. Mean and root mean square (RMS) temperature and velocity were defined to describe the distributions and fluctuations of temperature and velocity. Numerical results indicate that profiles between symmetrical planes are almost same and the root mean square temperature and velocity close to the center of the main duct in the downstream are larger than those near the main duct wall. The prediction of the fluctuations of temperature and velocity is significant to understand the knowledge of the cause of thermal fatigue in a mixing T-junction.
