The basic purpose of the hydraulic tank is to hold a volume of fluid, transfer heat from the system, allow solid contaminants to settle and facilitate the release of air and moisture from the fluid. To perform these important tasks more efficiently, the tank must be properly dimensioned and it must operate in correct flow rate range. At high flow rates it can be subjected to effects of turbulence, leading to poorer performance of the tank. To predict turbulent effects correctly a numerical simulation, based on RANS approach is prepared and run. Difference between k-ε model and k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) is investigated and results are presented. Impact of choice of turbulence model is discussed. |
