Popis: The turbulent and thermal mixing in a vertically oriented T-junction is investigated numerically using ANSYS FLUENT software. By taking account the buoyancy forces, a steady state three-dimensional turbulent flow is considered with a Reynolds number of 0.4×105 at the cold inlet and 3.3×105 at the hot entrance. The k-ε standard model with standard wall function is chosen to provide closure for the Reynolds stress tensor. The numerical results presented in the form of velocity vectors field and contours of temperature distribution gave a good prediction of the dynamic and the thermal fields namely in the mixing region where a reversed flow is captured.
