The values <strong>of</strong> k <strong>and</strong> at the inlet boundary is defined based on the<br />

empirical relations given in ANSYS FLUENT manual (Equation 6.3 & 6.4).<br />

Where V is average velocity in (m/s), I is the turbulent intensity (T.I) <strong>and</strong><br />

av<br />

‘l’ is the turbulent length scale. The length scale is assumed to be 0.05 m<br />

based on assumption that the size <strong>of</strong> largest eddy at the inlet is half the width<br />

<strong>of</strong> inlet which is 0.1 m. For the fully open port cases the two turbulent<br />

intensity levels 1% <strong>and</strong> 10% are defined.<br />

For the Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSM), the values <strong>of</strong> shear stress<br />

components at the inlet are considered negligible <strong>and</strong> the normal stress<br />

components are derived from k (Equation 6.5).<br />

The velocity components pr<strong>of</strong>iles at the inlet are assumed to be uniform <strong>and</strong><br />

a constant value is assigned. Similarly no pr<strong>of</strong>iles at the inlet are defined for<br />

k , <strong>and</strong> Reynolds stress components.<br />

At the outlet the pressure outlet boundary condition is defined with radial<br />

equilibrium pressure distribution which assumes radial velocity to be<br />

negligible as discussed in chapter 2. The solid boundaries are defined as walls<br />

with no-slip condition i.e. all the velocity components are assumed to be zero<br />

at the wall.<br />
