ENTRANCE LENGTH AND FRICTION FACTOR CORRELATIONS FOR TURBULENT FLOW IN CONCENTRIC ANNULI
Volume 45,
Issue 3, 2018,
pp. 255-262
DOI: 10.1615/InterJFluidMechRes.2018020326
ABSTRACT
Fully developed turbulent flow in a concentric annulus was investigated using the k-ω shear stress transport turbulence model. The investigation was conducted for a Reynolds number range of 5000–80,000 and an annulus diameter ratio range of 1.1–25. Correlations to predict the entrance length and the friction factors to respective accuracy of 3.1% and 2% are proposed.
KEY WORDS: turbulent flow, concentric annuli, entrance length correlation, friction factor correlation
