Abstract

Two promising designs of counterflow vortex reactor were numerically investigated. Such apparatus utilizes reverse flow to withdraw thermal energy and products from interelectrode area. Complex gasdynamic structure of the water-vapor flow was investigated using turbulent three-dimensional simulation employing Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations along with SST  turbulence model – technique tested in earlier papers. Presented velocity profiles and heat flux reports demonstrate viability of both approaches.
