RANS simulation of turbulent non-isothermal flow in a pipe by transition of Newtonian fluid into a viscoplastic non-Newtonian fluid is carried out. Carrier phase turbulence was modeled using two-equation isotropic k‒ε˜ – model and Reynolds stress transport model. Results of calculations of Newtonian and non-Newtonian power-law fluids were compared with data of DNS calculations of other authors. Comparisons with data from other works for isothermal Schwedoff-Bingham fluid were performed in this work using k‒ε˜ – model. Satisfactory agreement was obtained with data from other studies for the axial averaged velocity and turbulent kinetic energy radial profiles (the difference is up to 15 %). Reynolds stress transport model showed significant anisotropy between streamwise and transverse velocity fluctuations (up to several times) and good agreement with DNS results of other authors. Averaged and pulsation profiles express the indicated transformation of the non-isothermal turbulent flow.
