title = "Numerical Simulations of the Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Round Turbulent Jet",
abstract = "We explore the fundamental connection between properties of a supercritical fluid and observed behavior of the flow by comparing simulations of a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) round jet to canonical simulations using an ideal gas model. sCO2 has desirable behavior that can improve power density compared to traditional fluids for applications involving closed-cycle gas turbines, heat transmission, and hydraulic fracturing while facilitating carbon sequestration. While literature exists focusing on the prospects of sCO2 in various industries, the quantities of interest studied tend to be application specific whereas our investigation generalizes across multiple applications. The Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state is utilized to close our system of equations; we use a second order finite volume method in conjunction with adaptive mesh refinement as implemented in PeleC. The jet is at p=10 MPa and T=600 K in order to maintain a single-phase fluid. Quantities of interest for this study include the mean axial velocity and Reynolds stresses.",
