DNS of turbulent heat transfer in a channel flow with streamwisely varying thermal boundary condition

Abstract

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) have been performed for the turbulent heat transfer in a channel flow. In the present study, effect of thermal boundary condition is examined. DNS has been carried out for streamwisely thermal boundary conditions (Rer=180) with Pr=0.71 to obtain statistical mean temperatures, temperature variances, budget terms and time scale ratios etc. The obtained results have indicated that the time scale ratio varies along a streamwise.
