Computer Simulations of the Static State of the Turbocharger Turbine

In the present work, a numerical study of a turbulent flow through a turbocharger turbine in a static state is presented. Solutions of the time averaged Navier-Stokes in conjunction with the standard k-f turbulence model were developed using a control volume discretization method. The resolution was found by the commercial code Fluent 5.6. Geometry and the meshing were built by the software Gambit 6.1. This study is expected to provide a finer knowledge of structures of the flow such as velocity, pressure, turbulent kinetic energy, dissipation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy and viscosity. The proposed model has been tested on a turbocharger turbine of type Garrett TA03 automotive engines. The numerical results have been compared with ones found by other experimental results.
