Abstract
Strongly swirl flow simulation are still under developing. In this paper, ε equation based on the Renormalization Group theory is used into algebraic stress model. Standard κ-ε model, algebraic stress model by Jiang Zhang[5] and present model (RNG-ASM) are applied simultaneously to simulating the confined strongly swirling flow. The Simulating results by RNG-ASM model are compared to the results by other two model, it is shown that the predictions by this model display reasonable agreement with experimental data, and lead to greater improvement than Zhang’s ASM turbulence model[5].
