Abstract

A concise evaluation of Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence modeling for two-dimensional, incompressible, steady backward-facing step (BFS) flow at Re = 1000–3000 was conducted using OpenFOAM’s SimpleFoam solver with the standard k–ε model. A tri-level mesh enhancement (coarse, medium and fine) was implemented, and ambiguity was measured utilizing the Convergence Ratio (CR) and Grid Convergence Index (GCI). The fine grid (CR = 0.54; GCI = 0.0059%) was the only configuration exhibiting monotonic convergence, ensuring valid GCI estimation. Results showed reattachment length increasing from 0.11 m to 0.12 m, with stronger vortical structures and steeper shear gradients at higher Re. This study uniquely integrates RANS model validation with grid-uncertainty quantification, providing guidance for mesh optimization and reliable turbulence modeling in BFS simulations.

Abstract

Yakonde Village in Waibu District boasts abundant natural food resources, including sago palms (Metroxylon sagu Rottb), which grow wild throughout the lowlands. The potential for local raw materials, such as sago pulp waste, is enormous, but only a small portion is used for fuel briquettes. Therefore, empowerment and development strategies are needed for local communities, aiming to provide training in utilizing this waste. Through this outreach, local communities can create alternative fuels from this waste, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and addressing fuel shortages. Sago pulp waste is a product that can increase local income by turning it into charcoal briquettes.
