Realizable eddy-viscosity turbulence models in turbulent reacting flows.
TL;DR: In this paper, the quality of two-equation eddy-viscosity models is studied for non-premixed turbulent gas combustion in an axisymmetric co-flow burner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of adaptive mesh refinement in a turbulent buoyant helium plume
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated OpenFOAM's adaptive mesh refinement capabilities and accuracy when applied to numerical simulations of turbulent buoyant flows, a scenario with similar characteristics (in terms of air entrainment and vortex shedding) to those encountered in large‐scale fires.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the use of natural and forced convection correlations in predictive CFD simulations of liquid pool fires
TL;DR: In this article , a detailed analysis of predictive numerical simulations of liquid pool fires is presented, i.e., a 1 m diameter methanol pool, a 0.7 m × 0.8 m ethanol pool, and a 0 18 m diameter heptane pool.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On the use of small-scale results for the design of ventilation systems in large-scale atria
TL;DR: The dimensionless numbers for scaling confirm that scaling based on Froude-number alone seems allowed as long as the flows in all configurations are sufficiently turbulent.
