热辐射在倾斜通道热流场的作用

针对热辐射是通道内热流场的重要影响因素之一,采用实验和数值计算方法对倾斜角度为10°、20°和30°的两端开口通道内热流场进行了研究。使用基于大涡模拟(LES)求解浮力驱动N S方程的数值模拟方法求得的模拟结果和实验值吻合较好。通过使用耦合热辐射模型的数值计算结果和忽略热辐射的数值计算结果分别与实验结果进行对比分析的方法发现,在热源一定的条件下,对于倾斜角度在10°～30°之间的通道,热辐射使通道上部高温区域的温度降低,随着倾斜角度的增大,热辐射对通道低端开口上壁面附近的影响作用减弱,而倾斜角度对于热辐射在通道高端开口上壁面附近的作用则影响不大,同时,在通道倾斜角度为30°时,热辐射使通道内高温区域向高端开口方向倾斜,并使通道高端的下部温度升高。整个实验和计算结果可为倾斜通道内热流场的理论研究提供参考依据。

Effect of thermal radiation on thermal flow field in inclined tunnel

The thermal radiation is the main factor affecting internal thermal flow field in a tunnel. This paper studies on two open ends of a channel inclined with angles of 10°, 20° and 30° by experiments and numerical simulations. The experimental data agree well with the predicted results by using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to solve N-S equations driven by the buoyancy flow. And the influence of thermal radiation on thermal flow field of tunnel with inclination angles from 10° to 30° at same heat source is obtained by comparing the experiment results and numerical resolutions of coupled with radiation model and without radiation model. Thermal radiation makes temperature near the upper wall of tunnel drop, and the influence of thermal radiation on bottom end of tunnel declines with the inclination angle increasing. However, the inclination angle has a little effect on temperature near the ceiling of the top end of tunnel. Simultaneously, the higher temperature zone leaning to the top end due to the thermal radiation is obtained, and the temperature at the bottom of the upper part of the tunnel increases. The findings of the study are important references for theory research of thermal flow field in inclined tunnels.
