Abstrakt: In present study, a detailed investigation of an annular jet at high diameter ratio r = 0,905 has been reported numerically. The numerical simulation was performed by making use of the commercial CFD code which discretizes the solution domain into quadrilateral elements and use a numerical finite volume method coupled with a multigrid resolution scheme. In this research the applications of k-epsilon and k-omega models for prediction of a turbulent flow in annular jet are described. The flow governing equations are solved by using a performed coupled algorithm. The results of predicted axial velocity profiles are compared with the experimental data. The computations indicated that the results predicted by k-epsilon model are in good agreement with the experiment.
