| Abstract: |
| With four turbulence models, like the standard k-ε, the RNG k-ε, the Realizable k-ε and the RSM(Reynolds Stress Model), the internal flow field of six V-Cone flowmeters with the same inside diameter, 100 mm, but varying from structure is simulated here. For three V-Cone flowmeters whose equivalent diameter ratio β equals 0.65, the average deviations between each of the predictions, which are computed by using different turbulence models, and the corresponding experimental results are 4.19％,2.84％,2.88％ and -0.822％ respectively; as for the other three V-Cone flowmeters whose β equals 0.85, the average deviations are 11.8％,9.62％,9.30％ and 4.76％ respectively. Based on these results, a conclusion can be obtained that RSM can predict the discharge coefficients of the V-Cone flowmeters more accurately and perform better than the other three eddy-viscosity models. Therefore, it is the most suitable turbulence model for numerical simulation of the internal flow field of V-Cone flowmeters and is good for its discharge coefficient prediction. |
