7.3.2 Simulation by k-ε-AWF<br />

In the Figures 7.72-7.88, the results <strong>of</strong> the numerical simulation byk-ε-AWF<br />

turbulence modelling are compared with the experimental measurements along<br />

several sections at various locations in the cavity. In Figure 7.72-7.76, the tem-<br />

perature, velocity and velocity fluctuations resulting from the numerical sim-<br />

ulation are compared with experimental data within the central longitudinal<br />

plane, x-y plane at Z=0.5, along traverse lines at a number <strong>of</strong> longitudinal loca-<br />

tions, from the bottom to the top <strong>of</strong> the cavity. <strong>The</strong> temperature comparisons,<br />

Figure 7.72, show close agreement between the numerical and experimental<br />

data. Near the bottom, the core temperature is closer to the cold tempera-<br />

ture, which suggests that fluid from the cold side is convected to the core.
