Can I catch the secondary flow using ke model?
 

Re: Can I catch the secondary flow using ke model?
 

rngke or rsm is better than ke model, but can ke catch the secondary flow?

Why no one answer my question?

Yes, but only pressure induced.

For shear-stress induced secondary flows (e.g. swirls in the corners of a rectangle croos-sectiuon) you have to use RSM.

thanks, but can you tell me more about the difference between second flows induced by pressure and shear-stress?and some references is welcome.thanks again.

with k-eps you can model secondary flows like swirls happen to exist behind backward facing step (cross-section increase). Such eddy water situations are caused by pressure differences.

The secondary flows which cannot be covered by k-eps, are those which happen to appear in non-circular ducts. Two eddies in every corner can be obeserved.

Literature: Every good book on fluid mechanics (or dynamics). (e.g. Bird, Stewar Lightfoot, Transportphenomena, there I found the citation of Schlichtigs "Grenzschichttheorie" or Boundary-Layer Theory with eddies in a triangular duct)
