In order to create a comfortable environment in the work place around commercial kitchen, it is desirable to accurately predict the capture efficiency of exhaust from the cooking appliance by CFD. Due to insufficient diffusion in buoyant plume, however capture efficiency tends to be overestimated in the k-ε model. In this study, we confirmed that the problem of the k−ε model in the prediction of plume is originated from the buoyancy production of the turbulent kinetic energy by comparing among the measurement value, simulated results using the LES model and the k−ε model, and possible remedy for discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
