The One-Dimensional Turbulence Aspects of Internal Forced Convective Flows

Abstract

We present an overview of issues for the modeling of internal forced convective flows with the One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model. Results of recent research as well as prospective research issues are presented for statistically streamwise homogeneous flows and streamwise inhomogeneous mixed convective flows. The results illustrate the capabilities of the model to evaluate and bring insight into a wide range of physical phenomena in the field of convective flows. Nonetheless, as a model, ODT is best suited for the evaluation of asymptotically turbulent flows, i.e., away from laminar regimes.
