Numerical Modeling of a Turbulent Plane Jet Impingement on a Solid Wall

Turbulent jet flows constitute a common problem for engineers. Owing to self-preservation in nature, a submerged jet has been well solved by the zero-equation turbulence model. However, in practice, the flow field is often confined by side walls or normal walls. Near those solid boundaries, flow situations depend highly on the impingement geometries. Therefore, it is almost impossible for engineers to labor through all experimental investigations of jet impingement on a case by case basis. This fact results in the necessity for an alternative in the study of jet impingement problems. In this study, the major effort was concentrated on a turbulence model of a plane jet impingement on a solid wall. Consequently, while using the same numerical scheme, different jet impingement geometries can be expressed as different boundary conditions.
