experimental data. Addressing the aforementioned issues <strong>of</strong> properly<br />

defining the inlet boundary conditions may also improve the RANS/URANS<br />

results to some extent, however, the major reason may simply lie in the<br />

inadequateness <strong>of</strong> the RANS/URANS based methodology in this particular<br />

case. This indicates that using Hybrid RANS-LES or purely LES approach<br />

will probably give better simulation results by resolving a portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />

turbulence scales. Thus performing a grid independence study by increasing<br />

the computational mesh size in the current simulation cases may not<br />

significantly improve the simulation results compared to what already have<br />

been obtained using URANS. Due to very limited number <strong>of</strong> Ansys ®<br />

FLUENT licenses available at MEK-DTU, Hybrid RANS-LES or LES models<br />

could not be applied. The URANS simulations with a computational gird<br />

containing the guide vanes <strong>and</strong> for cases with partially closed cylinder intake<br />

port are currently under progress.<br />
