Evaluation of turbulence closure models under spilling and plunging breakers in the surf zone
Turbulence closure models are evaluated for application to spilling and plunging breakers in the surf zone using open source computational fluid dynamics software. A new library of turbulence models for application to multiphase flows has been developed and is assessed for numerical efficiency and accuracy by comparing against existing laboratory data for surface elevation, velocity and turbule...
متن کاملThe 3D Structure of Spilling Breakers
Nearly all calculations and measurements of breaking waves assume the wave profiles and flow fields are two-dimensional. Though this assumption may be correct before the waves become turbulent, once transition to turbulent flow begins, the real flow becomes highly three dimensional. The threedimensional structure and motion of the free surface is important for the dynamics of the breaking proce...
متن کاملBayesian Uncertainty Quantification Applied to RANS Turbulence Models
A Bayesian uncertainty quantification approach is developed and applied to RANS turbulence models of fully-developed channel flow. The approach aims to capture uncertainty due to both uncertain parameters and model inadequacy. Parameter uncertainty is represented by treating the parameters of the turbulence model as random variables. To capture model uncertainty, four stochastic extensions of f...
متن کاملA New Physically-Based Fully-Realizable Nonequilibrium Reynolds Stress Closure for Turbulence RANS Modeling
Based on the physics underlying turbulence anisotropy in the equilibrium and nonequilibrium limits, a new physically-based, fully-realizable, nonequilibrium k − 2 RANS model has been developed. The model is based on an effective strain rate tensor that accounts for the strain history to which the turbulence has been subjected. This new model is applied to four distinctly different test cases fo...
متن کاملa boundary integral model for simulating spilling breakers
a boundary integral method is used to simulate spilling breakers. the bottom is also included inthe introduced closed boundary and the problem is directly solved in the physical plane. the method has beenshown to be remarkably stable, and no numerical instability has occurred in any of the calculations. theresults reveal that both the momentum and total energy are almost constant in time during...
