... shock. To this end, two aspects are improved and combined, i.e. a newly self-adaptive turbulence eddy simulation (SATES) turbulence modeling method and a high-order discretization numerical scheme. Furthermore, the performance of the new numerical framework within a general-purpose PHengLEI software...

...Lipeng Lu; Luyang Zhong; Yangwei Liu Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a full three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a rectangular asymmetric 3D diffuser utilizing seven turbulence models frequently used in engineering to assess the predictive...

...WenRuo Zhu; ZhongXin Gao; YongJun Tang; JianGuang Zhang; Li Lu Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the ability of turbulence models to model the flow field in the runner of a Francis turbine. Although the complex flow in the turbine can be simulated by CFD models, the prediction...
