REYNOLDS-AVERAGED SIMULATION ON TURBULENT DRAG-REDUCING FLOWS OF VISCOELASTIC FLUID BASED ON USER-DEFINED FUNCTION IN FLUENT PACKAGE Zhi-Ying Zheng, Feng-Chen Li†, Qian Li School of Energy Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China
ABSTRACT A new numerical simulation methodology for turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid was developed for engineering application purpose based on commercial computational fluid dynamics code FLUENT package. An in-house subroutine was established and embedded into FLUENT code through userdefined function functionalization. In order to benchmark this methodology, numerical simulations on turbulent channel flows of viscoelastic fluid are conducted under different cases with drag reduction rates varied from low level to high level. FENE-P (finitely extensive nonlinear elastic-Peterlin) constitutive model is used to describe the viscoelastic effect of viscoelastic fluid flow. The turbulent model is developed in the 2 framework of k v f model, for which the elliptic
been conducted to understand the mechanism of turbulent DR. However, the up-to-date experimental techniques cannot yet obtain the key information for studying the mechanism of turbulent DR, such as the molecular or micelle conformation tensor and elastic stress field in viscoelastic fluid flows. The development of computer technology prompts researchers to pay more attentions to numerical methods. Among the numerical simulation methods, direct numerical simulation (DNS) can obtain comprehensive turbulence information till the smallest dissipation scale in the turbulent flow field and thus has been widely adopted to study the mechanisms of turbulent DR by simulating viscoelastic fluid flows, such as channel flows [2, 3] and decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence [4]. But the multi-scale characteristic of turbulence makes DNS calculation considerably expensive with extremely high demand for computer’s memory and time consumption, limiting Reynolds number of feasible flows for DNS to be small or moderate, which cannot satisfy the need of engineering practice. Compared with DNS, commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software using RANS (Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) method such as FLUENT can provide economic, mature, reliable, and robust numerical simulation algorithms for turbulent flows, which is suitable for engineering applications. And the functionalization of userdefined function (UDF) provided by some commercial CFD packages can overcome the shortcoming that there is no constitutive model for viscoelastic fluid in those commercial CFD codes for turbulent flow simulations. Thus, we have been then motivated to develop a new numerical simulation methodology for viscoelastic fluid flow based on the CFD code FLUENT package. For the next step of research that an inhouse subroutine embedded into FLUENT code through UDF functionalization has been benchmarked with simulations on laminar flows of viscoelastic fluid [5], the extension of
relaxation model is modified to account for the Reynolds stress equilibrium established by the presence of elasticity in the fluid. The numerical simulation results, including velocity profiles, turbulent flow characteristics, elastic stress and conformation field, show good agreements with published DNS results, which validates the newly established method on turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid based on FLUENT software platform for engineering applications. INTRODUCTION Friction drag of turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid can be significantly reduced compared with that of Newtonian fluid with the drag reduction (DR) rate up to 80%. Since Toms reported the turbulent drag-reducing effect in polymer solution flow for the first time [1], researchers have recognized great potentials of this phenomenon in energy saving for industrial application systems, and a large amount of experimental and numerical studies on viscoelastic fluid turbulent flows have

methodology to simulating turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid is presented in this paper. In the past decade, several attempts have been made to simulate turbulent flows of viscoelastic fluid based on RANS modeling method. Leighton et al. [6] first proposed a turbulent model for viscoelastic fluid flows based on FENE-P (finitely extensive nonlinear elastic-Peterlin) constitutive equation model. In their work, a Reynolds-stress transport equation model was presented based on an extended set of RANS equations combining with polymer stresses specified in terms of the mean polymer conformation tensor, and closures for unknown correlations were also developed. Their approach was validated in turbulent channel flow and showed encouraging results. However, the extreme complexity of 6 partial differential equations for Reynolds stresses and 6 more for polymer stresses in the set of governing equations with unclosed correlations in each equation limited its application in tackling practical engineering problems. In another attempt, Pinho et al. [7] developed a new RANS model for polymer turbulent drag-reducing flows by utilizing FENE-P dumbbell model based on a single-point k turbulent model, and presented closures for turbulent correlations induced by viscoelasticity. But this model was only valid for low DR regime. An improved model [8] was subsequently developed by providing new closures for the Reynolds-averaged nonlinear term of the polymer conformation equation and the eddy viscosity, and the inclusion of direct viscoelastic contributions into the transport equations for turbulent kinetic energy (k) and its dissipation rate. The existing closures for the viscoelastic stress work model in [7] were also improved. This improved model was extended to moderate DR regime by validation against DNS results. However, the fact that the inherent turbulence isotropy of k model can’t simultaneously predict mean velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate as a result of the increase of turbulence anisotropy with DR confines the simulations on polymer turbulent flows at high DR level [9]. 2 Recently, Iaccarino et al. [10] presented a k v f
obtained for many quantities, such as DR rates, mean velocity profiles, polymer stress, turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate, the predictions of viscoelastic eddy viscosity, polymer mean shear stress, the budgets of turbulent kinetic energy and the evolution equation for conformation tensor didn’t consist with DNS results well. Therefore, Masoudian et 2 al. [9] proposed a new improved k v f model with more accurate predictions by improving the existing closure for viscoelastic eddy viscosity, and developing new closures for nonlinear fluctuating terms in FENE-P constitutive equation and polymer stress work terms in the transport equations of k 2 and v . In this paper, an in-house subroutine modeling turbulent 2 drag-reducing flow of viscoelastic fluid by k v f
model introduced by Masoudian et al. [9] with several modifications is developed and embedded into the FLUENT code through utilizing the functionalization of UDF. Afterwards, this approach is validated against DNS results for fully developed turbulent channel flows of viscoelastic fluid over the whole range of DR.

model for turbulent wall-bounded flows of viscoelastic fluid, which can reproduce the level of DR over the whole range. This model was an extension of k model and included two additional equations – a transport equation for wallnormal fluctuating velocity variance ( v2 ) which dominates the scaling of turbulent viscosity near the wall and an elliptic relaxation equation for turbulence energy redistribution process (f) – to represent the turbulence anisotropy caused by the existence of solid walls without damping functions. A pseudo viscosity was introduced to model the polymer stresses directly with the combination of the mean velocity gradients, and the increased wall damping of the turbulent fluctuations was obtained by modifying the pressure-strain redistribution term in the equation of f.

The present model is embedded into the FLUENT code through UDF functionality based on the low Reynolds number k model provided by FLUENT software. In UDF, the general user-defined scalar transport equation is shown in Eq. (42), in which from left to right there are four terms to be customized: transient term, convection term, diffusion term and source term, respectively.

The transient term is omitted due to the consideration of steady flow mentioned above, and each term in the governing and model equations can be categorized into the left three terms in Eq. (42). Afterwards, the customizations of these terms are realized by writing corresponding functions with C language and then connecting the functions with interfaces through the corresponding settings in the code. The accuracy of the present model is assessed by simulating a fully developed turbulent channel flow of viscoelastic fluid with computational domain size of Lx Ly Lz 10h 2h 5h , in which Lx, Ly, and Lz represent the sizes in the streamwise, wall-normal and spanwise directions, respectively; h is the half-height of the channel set to be 0.1 m.

and the meshes along the streamwise and spanwise directions are uniform. Double precision is employed for the calculations in this paper. SIMPLE scheme is adopted to solve the coupling of velocity and pressure; standard scheme is utilized to discretize the pressure equation; QUICK scheme is used to discretize the equations of momentum, turbulent kinetic energy, dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, wallnormal fluctuating velocity variance, turbulence energy redistribution process and polymer extension. The periodic boundary conditions in the streamwise and spanwise directions with constant pressure difference in the streamwise direction and no-slip boundary condition for the top and bottom walls are used in the simulation, and boundary conditions for the turbulent scalars at the walls are the same as those of Newtonian form [12], while the same Dirichlet boundary condition for Ckk as Iaccarino et al. introduced in [10] is adopted in this paper.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS For the facilitation of comparison with DNS data provided by Masoudian et al. [9], all the predicted results are given in the dimensionless form which are normalized by the friction velocity ( U ) and viscous length ( xi xi U s p ).
The predictions of k and v2 for different cases are shown in Fig. 1. The normalized turbulent kinetic energy is underestimated for all cases, and the discrepancy increases with DR, which is probably caused by the shortcoming of FENE-P model as Ptasinski et al. analyzed in [2]. However, the upward shift of the peak location of k+ with increasing DR and
the satisfactory agreement with DNS data for v2 are captured. The predicted normalized dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy accompanied by DNS data for different cases are depicted in Fig. 2. The predictions agree well with DNS data near and away from the wall for LDR (case A) and MDR (case B), while for HDR (case D), the prediction is consistent with DNS data far from the wall, but overestimated near the wall. Moreover, the peak location of shifts away from the wall as DR increases. The polymer extension normalized by polymer maximum extensibility predicted by the present model for LDR (case A) and HDR (case D) are shown and compared with DNS data in Fig. 3. The maximum elongation of polymer molecule is limited to about 40% of the maximum extensibility for both cases, and the region of large extension is confined to be close to the wall. Besides, the predictions comply with DNS data, as shown in Fig. 3. In Fig. 4 the predicted normalized polymer stresses for the cases with different DR are presented, as well as the comparison with DNS data. The predictions are in accord with DNS data with only a small difference for HDR (case D). The

underestimated for other cases with increasing difference as DR increases. Besides, the profiles in the viscous sublayer for all cases comply with the linear distribution, and the mean velocity of viscoelastic fluid far from the wall increases with increasing DR by comparing with that of Newtonian fluid. The upward shift of the log-law layer indicates the thickening of viscous sublayer, which is explained by Lumley [13] as the drag-reducing mechanism, and the slope of the profile in the log-law layer remains the same with that of Newtonian fluid for LDR (case A) and increases with DR, indicating the occupation of the central region of the channel by the buffer layer for HDR (case D). These observations are all in qualitative agreement with DNS data.

The predicted shear stresses show both qualitative and quantitative agreement with DNS data for LDR (case A) and MDR (case B), while for HDR (case D), the results of the present model predict the polymer shear stress well, but overestimate Reynolds shear stress. Moreover, with the increase of DR, Reynolds shear stress decreases and polymer shear stress increases to be comparable to Reynolds shear stress, which conforms to DNS results. The predictions and DNS results for normalized mean velocity profile of viscoelastic fluid are shown in Fig. 6, as well as the predicted results of Newtonian fluid. The predictions are in consistence with DNS data well for case A, but
2 on the k v f model introduced by Masoudian et al. [9] with several additional modifications, and validated against DNS results for fully developed turbulent channel flows of viscoelastic fluid over the whole range of DR. The predictions of the present model agree well with DNS data in terms of velocity profiles, turbulence physical quantities, polymer elastic stress and polymer extension. For the next step, the present model will be improved by modifying the model constants and improving the closures for better accuracy, especially for the discrepancies of the predictions on velocity profile and turbulent kinetic energy.
