Minimum-dissipation scalar transport model for large-eddy simulation of turbulent flows

Large Eddy Simulation for Turbulent Flows

This thesis is concerned with one of the most promising approaches to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) in which the large scales of the flow are calculated directly, while the interactions with the small scales are modeled. Specifically, we analyze two new LES models, introduced in [30] and [51]. First, we sketch the derivation of the LES model introd...

Mixed Large-Eddy Simulation Model for Turbulent Flows across Tube Bundles Using Parallel Coupled Multiblock NS Solver

In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...

Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Reacting Flows

Numerical simulations of combustion in aircraft engines is quite complex, as it requires an adequate description of liquid fuel injection, liquid fuel atomization, drop breakup, drop dynamics, and evaporation, large-scale turbulent fuel air mixing, small scale molecular fuel air mixing, chemical reactions, and turbulence/chemistry interactions. In the present paper, we have identified three of ...
