AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for books on turbulent modeling for external flow include "Turbulent Flows" by Pope, which is considered a classic in the field. Users suggest that "Fox & McDonald" provides a solid foundation, particularly for fluid dynamics and pipe flow, but may not cover external flow turbulence in depth. For understanding specific turbulence models like k-epsilon and k-omega, additional theoretical resources are needed. The professor's suggestion of Jack Holman for heat transfer is also positively acknowledged. Overall, a combination of these texts can enhance understanding of turbulent modeling and its applications.

I need a book to study the theory for turbulent modeling for external flow. So far I used Fox & McDonald for fluid dynamics, it has turbulent modeling for pipe flow. I learned to simulate it in fluent & learned a lot more in its tutorials(though i didn't know the theory part:biggrin::redface:), I was trying to find some theory for the models fluent have, like k epsilon, k omega etc etc. Can anyone suggest some book?
Also I will be taking heat transfer this semester, professor has suggested Jack Holman, is it good??

Turbulent flows by Pope is kinda of a classic
Fox should give you the proper background for it.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
