Numerical modeling of heat transfer and fluid flow in rotor-stator cavities with throughflow

Résumé

The present study considers the numerical modeling of the turbulent flow in a rotor-stator cavity subjected to a superimposed throughflow with heat transfer. Numerical predictions based on one-point statistical modeling using a low Reynolds number second-order full stress transport closure are compared with experimental data available in the literature. Considering small temperature differences, density variations can be here neglected which leads to dissociate the dynamical effects from the heat transfer process. The fluid flow in an enclosed disk system with axial throughflow is well predicted compared to the velocity measurements performed at IRPHE (Poncet 2005) under isothermal conditions. When the shroud is heated, the effects of rotation and coolant outward throughflow on the heat transfer have been investigated and the numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the data of Sparrow and Goldstein (1976). Their results have been extended for a wide range of the Prandtl numbers. We have also considered the case of an open rotor-stator cavity with a radial inward throughflow with heat transfer along the stator, which corresponds to the experiment of Djaoui et al. (2001). Our results have been compared to both their temperature measurements and their asymptotic model with a close agreement between the different approaches, showing the efficiency of the second order modeling. An empirical correlation law is given to predict the averaged Nusselt number depending on the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers and on the coolant flowrate.
