A hybrid LES-RANS study on square cylinder unsteady heat transfer

Variational Multiscale LES and Hybrid RANS/LES Parallel Simulation of Complex Unsteady Flows

We study a new hybrid RANS/Variational Multiscale LES (VMS-LES) model for bluff body flows. The simulations have been carried out using a parallelized solver, based on a mixed element/volume formulation on unstructured grids. First, the behavior of a VMS-LES model with different subgrid scale models is investigated for the flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re =3900. Second, a new...

An extensive study on LES, RANS and hybrid RANS/LES simulation of a narrow-gap open Taylor-Couette flow

The present paper concerns a numerical benchmark of various turbulence modelings, from RANS to LES, applied to Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille flows in a narrow gap cavity for six different combinations of rotational and axial Reynolds numbers. Two sets of refined Large-Eddy Simulation results, using the WALE and the Dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid scale models available within an in-house code based on ...

Modeling unsteady turbulent flows over ripples: RANS versus LES

Des, Hybrid Rans/les and Pans Models for Unsteady Separated Turbulent Flow Simulations

This paper presents computational results for two DES (Detached Eddy Simulation), one hybrid RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes)/ LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and some preliminary results from PANS (Partially Averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence for simulation of unsteady separated turbulent flows. The models are implemented in a full 3-D Navier Stokes solver and are based on the twoequation k-...

DES and Hybrid RANS/LES models for unsteady separated turbulent flow predictions

This paper proposes two DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) model and one hybrid RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes)/ LES (Large Eddy Simulation) model for the simulations of unsteady separated turbulent flows. The two-equation k-ε based models are implemented in a full 3-D Navier Stokes solver and simulations are carried out using a 3 order Roe scheme. The predictions of the models are compared ...
