SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for books on turbulent modeling, specifically for external flow applications. The user has utilized "Fox & McDonald" for fluid dynamics, which covers turbulent modeling for pipe flow, and seeks theoretical resources for models implemented in ANSYS Fluent, such as k-epsilon and k-omega. Additionally, the user inquires about "Jack Holman" for heat transfer studies and mentions "Turbulent Flows" by Pope as a classic reference. The consensus suggests that "Fox & McDonald" provides a solid foundation for understanding turbulent modeling.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with ANSYS Fluent software
  • Knowledge of turbulent flow models, specifically k-epsilon and k-omega
  • Basic concepts of heat transfer
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced turbulent modeling techniques in "Turbulent Flows" by Pope
  • Explore the theoretical foundations of k-epsilon and k-omega models
  • Study heat transfer principles using "Heat Transfer" by Jack Holman
  • Learn about simulation best practices in ANSYS Fluent tutorials
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in fluid dynamics, mechanical engineers, and anyone involved in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) looking to deepen their understanding of turbulent modeling and heat transfer.

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??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Turbulent flows by Pope is kinda of a classic
Fox should give you the proper background for it.
