CHAPTER 6 Conclusions The unsteady flow in pipes and a radial turbine have been computed using LES. The purpose of the pipe flow computations was to study the non-pulsatile and pulsatile internal flow in curved geometries, which are relevant to the inlet to the turbo-charger turbine. For one of the used geometries, a comparison with measured data has also been performed. The results show that an Implicit LES turbulence modelling approach gives the best agreement with measured velocities among the tested turbulence modelling approaches. For the pulsatile flow a phase shift between the pressure and the bulk flow has been found. The phase shift varies during the pulse, depending on the balance between the different terms in the momentum equation. The phase shift also implies that flow in the boundary layer and in the core region of the pipe are out phase, since the low momentum flow in the boundary layer is more sensitive to changes in the axial pressure gradient than the flow in the core region. This results in an increased mixing in the region near the wall resulting in higher heat transfer to the walls. The bends in the pipe introduced secondary flow structures. In the first bend, two counter-rotating vortices are created and the axial velocity compo- nent after the bend is not uniformly distributed. When this non-uniform axial velocity distribution enters a second bend, situated in an orthogonal plane downstream of the first bend, a swirling motion is created downstream of the second bend. This swirling motion is also affected by the Dean vortices created in the bends upstream. Since an exhaust manifold can be viewed as being composed of straight and bent pipe sections, the flow into the turbine has non- negligible secondary flow structures in addition to the pulsatile axial flow. The pulsatile flow in the turbine also increases the heat losses. This all together implies that a turbocharger turbine for an IC-engine will have operation condi- tions that are far away from the conditions that they are designed and tested for. The effect of the pulsatile flow on the turbine performance has been assessed by conducting computation at different frequencies and mass flows. The major conclusions of that study are as follows: 56
