Review on validation of CFD models of swirling flows by experimental data

Review on validation of CFD models of swirling flows by experimental data

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

Efficient research and development of combustion applications is not possible without an experimental facility. Recently, development has also been supported by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). CFD models, however, have to be validated against experimental data to become reliable tools for predictions. This article reviews available experimental data that are necessary for validation of CFD models of swirling turbulent reacting or nonreacting flows. The review is primarily concerned with measurements and CFD model validations of swirling turbulent combustion. However, swirling turbulent isothermal flows are included as well for sake of completeness. Experiments under well-defined conditions are stressed. These experiments are identified as popular with CFD modelers as they provide for complete experimental data, that are appropriate for validation.
