| Abstract: | Separation and reattachment of air flow through
a sudden expansion in an annular passage is investigated.
Backward facing steps play a vital role in the design of
many heat related applications where heat transfer is
concerned. In the present work, numerical simulation is
performed using computer fluid dynamics package (Fluent)
to study the effect of step flow in an annular passage. The
obtained results are compared with the preliminary
experimental findings. The flowing fluid was heated
uniformly from the beginning of the expansion. Constant
heat flux approach was considered for the heat transfer
investigation. Annular pipe flow system having step ratio
of d/D = 1.8 was considered where d and D representing
the diameter of the pipe before and after expansion.
Numerical simulation reviews that the reattachment point
extends further with the increase of velocity for different
occasions. Finally, the local Nusselt number (Nu) increases
with the increase of Reynolds number (Re). |
