Abstract
This paper aims to validate the numerical method used to intensively study the performance of turning diffuser. A 3-D turning diffuser of area ratio (AR=2.16), outlet inlet configurations (W2/W1=1.50, X2/X1=1.44) and inner wall length (Lin/W1=3.99) operated at inflow Reynolds numbers, Rein = 5.786 x 104- 1.775 x 105 was considered. Grid with appropriate size, y+ was occupied relatively in dense close to the walls. The quality and independency of grid was examined. The applicability of k- turbulence models, i.e. standard k- (ske), renormalization group k- (rngke) and realizable k- (rke) by means of adopting different near wall treatments to simulate the actual cases, was assessed. The enhanced wall treatment, y+ 1.2-1.7 adopted ske appeared as the best validated model, producing minimal deviation with comparable flow structures to the actual cases.
