高レイノルズ数チャンネル乱流場の内層における乱流熱流束の高プラントル数効果に関する考察

Prandtl number (Pr) effects on characteristics of the thermal boundary layer were investigated by means of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flows. The molecular Pr conditions were changed from 0.71 to 25.0, and the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and channel half-width was kept to 1000 in all cases. In the thermal conduction sub-layer and logarithmic layer, despite difference of Pr, Joint probability density function (JPDF) profiles of the wall-normal turbulent heat flux were shown good agreements with JPDF profiles of the Reynolds shear stress. On the other hand, in the peak wall-normal height of streamwise velocity intensities, JPDF profiles of wall-normal turbulent heat flux were influenced on Pr. In fact, the temperature fluctuations increase with increase of Pr at this wall-normal position. This is caused from high-Pr effects such as the difference between velocityand thermal boundary thicknesses and low-thermal conductivity.
