Parameterization of Turbulent Transport in Swirling Flows — I: Theoretical Considerations

  • Conference paper
Turbulent Shear Flows 4

Abstract

A second order closure scheme is proposed for turbulent transport in swirling flows. Specifically, a scheme is constructed according to the same principles that led to the successful description of buoyancy-driven turbulent flows (Zeman, 1975; Zeman and Lumley, 1976 a, b, c; Lumley et al. 1978). In the narrow gap approximation the scheme takes on a particularly simple form, which can be rationalized by a simple physical model.
