Résumé

A new approach to take into account the effects of variable physical properties on turbulence is suggested. It allows to choose freely the turbulent closure model for conventional terms due to velocity fluctuations and to describe coherently the additional terms due to density fluctuations. Numerical calculations based on the suggested approach have been performed for carbon dioxide flowing within mini/micro channels under cooling conditions. The numerical predictions show that the effects due to density fluctuations are smaller than it could have been initially supposed and that the heat transfer impairment for mini/micro channels, which some experiments seem to highlight, is not completely explained by the considered model.
