hello all,

I want to ask how I know the values to be enter in the initialization tab of ansys fluent package 2020 R2 for turbulanet kinetic energy and specific dissipation rate if i have a beaker and in beaker there is 1%PVA and 0.2 % PEI are mixing at the impeller speed of 5000 rpm total volume of the sytem is 1010 ml 1000ml pva and 10 ml pei.

thank you

regards,

masooma

Hello,

 

You will need some more parameters to calculate the TKE and specific dissipation rate. You can refer the following formulas and calculate it accordingly.

1. TKE=1/2 (​ρu′u′)

• TKE is the turbulent kinetic energy.
• ρ is the density of the fluid.
• u' represents the fluctuating velocity (the deviation of the local velocity from the mean velocity).

2. ε=2μ/ρ[​(∂xj/​∂ui​​)(∂xj​/∂ui​​)]

• ε is the specific dissipation rate.
• μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid.
• ρ is the density of the fluid.
• (∂xj/​∂ui​​) represents the velocity gradient in the fluid, with $i$ and $j$ denoting the different spatial coordinates.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks.

thank you Omkar for the reply,

I want to know that I have only one velocity of 5m/s how can I calculate the velocity deviation from local velocity to mean what this gradient means also for TDR what is this velocity gradient because in a stirred tank impeller is moving with 5000 rpm only one velocity 

I shall be thankful fo the help

kind regards,
