Reproduce Nusselt number correlations for forced turbulent flow inside circular pipe

michujo · May 23, 2012, 09:46

Hello everybody, I made a quick search for past threads but I did not find exactly what I was looking for, so I need your help with the next question:

Do you think it is possible to reproduce Nusselt number dependence on Reynolds and Prandtl numbers (like, for instance, Gnielinski or Dittus-Boelter correlations) for the heat transfer of a forced turbulent flow in a smooth cylindrical pipe using CFD?

Using DNS perhaps?

(If you guys know of any reference I'd be grateful).

Thanks for your help!

Can anybody out there give me any hint please?

Thank you,

Cheers.

Hi Michujo,

I know this is quite old thread, but did you found solution or hint to this problem?

I also have interest in this particular topic.

Thanks and Regards,
