摘要
Turbulent flows past hill and curved ducts exist in many engineering applications. Simulations of the turbulent flow arc carried out based on a newly developed technique, the Partially-Averaged Navier-Stokes （PANS） model, including separation, recirculation, reattachment, turbulent vortex mechanism. The focus is on how to accurately predict typical separating, reattaching and secondary motion at a reasonable computational expense. The effect of the parameter, the unresolved-to-total ratio of kinetic energy （ fk ）, is examined with a given unresolved-to-total ratio of dissipation （ fE ） for the hill flow with a much coarser grid system than required by the LES. An optimal value of fk can be obtained to predict the separation and reattachment locations and for more accurate simulation of the resolved turbulence. In addition, the turbulent secondary motions are captured by a smaller fi as compared with the RANS method with the same grid.
