✦ Synopsis

The filling process of a fuel oil storage tank containing a higher temperature fuel oil is numerically analysed. A k-e model, which is developed by some modifications to those existing in the literature, is employed in order to take into account the turbulent effect for low-Re flow phenomena. A transient stream function-vorticity formulation is used for predicting streamlines and temperature distribution. The streamlines, the isotherms and the transient average temperature variations are presented for three different inflow velocities and for three different cases of heating.

A direct numerical simulation of a turbulent flow field with a lattice BGK method is presented. A spatial coarse graining of the numerical results is compared with the expected LBGK dynamics for a flow field on a reduced lattice size. This comparison permits to exhibit subgrid properties of the flui
