Finite element analysis of laminar and turbulent flows using LES and subgrid-scale models

Subgrid Scale Model for Finite Difference Simulations of Turbulent Flows in Plane Channels and Annuli

High Reynolds number turbulent flows of incompressible fluids in plane channels and annuli are simulated using a finite difference procedure which integrates the NavierStokes equations in time and in three-dimensional space. This paper describes the finite difference procedure and the subgrid scale (SGS) motion model. The model differs from earlier ones in the following points. The finite diffe...

Dynamic Models for Subgrid-scale Transport and Mixing of Reactants in Atmospheric Turbulent Reacting Flows

Large-eddy simulation (LES) can provide valuable highresolution spatial and temporal information required to study the effects of turbulent transport and mixing on the chemical transformation of reacting scalars in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). LES consists of explicitly resolving all scales of turbulent transport larger than the grid scale (on the order of tens of meters in the ABL), w...

Finite element simulation of turbulent bubbly flows

A finite element approach for solving gas-liquid flows with mass transfer and chemical reactions is presented. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a modified k − ε turbulence model for computation of the eddy viscosity are solved by a discrete projection scheme from the family of Pressure Schur Complement methods. Additionally, the simplified two-fluid (Euler-Euler) model ba...

On Implicit Subgrid Scale Modeling for Turbulent Flows

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is an effective intermediate approach between DNS and RANS, capable of simulating flow features which cannot be handled with RANS such as significant flow unsteadiness and strong vortex-acoustic couplings, and providing higher accuracy than RANS at reasonable cost but still typically an order of magnitude more expensive. Desirable modeling choices involve selecting a...
