Detailed Description

Set inlet boundary condition values for turbulence variables based on a diameter \( D_H \) and the reference velocity \( U_{ref} \) for a circular duct flow with smooth wall.

We use the laws from Idel'Cik, i.e. the head loss coefficient \( \lambda \) is defined by:

\[ |\dfrac{\Delta P}{\Delta x}| = \dfrac{\lambda}{D_H} \frac{1}{2} \rho U_{ref}^2 \]

then the relation reads \(u^\star = U_{ref} \sqrt{\dfrac{\lambda}{8}}\). \(\lambda \) depends on the hydraulic Reynolds number \( Re = \dfrac{U_{ref} D_H}{ \nu} \) and is given by:

  • for \( Re < 2000 \)

    \[ \lambda = \dfrac{64}{Re} \]

  • for \( Re > 4000 \)

    \[ \lambda = \dfrac{1}{( 1.8 \log_{10}(Re)-1.64 )^2} \]

  • for \( 2000 < Re < 4000 \), we complete by a straight line

    \[ \lambda = 0.021377 + 5.3115. 10^{-6} Re \]

From \( u^\star \), we can estimate \( k \) and \( \varepsilon\) from the well known formulae of developped turbulence

\[ k = \dfrac{u^{\star 2}}{\sqrt{C_\mu}} \]

\[ \varepsilon = \dfrac{ u^{\star 3}}{(\kappa D_H /10)} \]
