Influence of aspect ratio in the turbulent convection in cavities

Résumé

The purpose of this study is to know the air distribution in a conditioned room, through the numerical investigation of the influence of aspect ratio in the thermal and fluid dynamics behavior of a turbulent flow. To achieve that objective, some simulations were done of the flow inside a rectangular room, where the air enters through an opening in the top of one wall and leaves the room through an opening in the bottom of the opposite wall. The Reynolds mean equations are used, with the turbulence model RSM BSL (Reynolds Stress Model - Baseline) to solve four cases, with different geometries. It was concluded that, in general, the turbulence model used in this work is capable to predict quite well the fluid dynamics behavior of the flow, which is influenced by the room length, but not by its width.
