On correcting the eddy-viscosity models in RANS simulations for turbulent flows and scalar transport around obstacles
Zengrong Hao, Catherine Gorlé, David S. Ching +1
In RANS simulations for turbulent scalar transport, it is common that using an eddy-viscosity (EV) model to close the Reynolds stress yields reasonable mean flow predictions but la…
Large-eddy simulations of wind-driven cross ventilation, Part1: validation and sensitivity study
Yunjae Hwang, Catherine Gorlé
Natural ventilation is gaining popularity in response to an increasing demand for a sustainable and healthy built environment, but the design of a naturally ventilated building can…
Large-eddy simulations to define building-specific similarity relationships for natural ventilation flow rates
Yunjae Hwang, Catherine Gorlé
Natural ventilation can play an important role towards preventing the spread of airborne diseases in indoor environments. However, quantifying natural ventilation flow rates is a c…
Full-scale validation of CFD simulations of buoyancy-driven ventilation in a three-story office building
Chen Chen, Catherine Gorlé
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is frequently used to support the design of naturally ventilated buildings; however, the model accuracy should be thoroughly assessed, ideally th…
Pressure scrambling effects and the quantification of turbulent scalar flux model uncertainties
Zengrong Hao, Catherine Gorlé
Closure models for the turbulent scalar flux are an important source of uncertainty in Reynolds-averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of scalar transport. This paper presents a…
