چکیده
The viability of the Variational Multi-Scale (VMS), an approach for Large Eddy Simulation (LES), in the context of turbulence control is explored. First, we validate our VMS implementation for a fully-developed turbulent channel. Later, VMS results for opposition control of the turbulent channel flow are compared against available Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and LES using dynamic subgrid-scale model data. The performance of VMS is found to be superior to the dynamic model both in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

We explore the capabilities of the variational multiscale (VMS) method in the context of turbulence control by applying VMS to the simulation of a simple opposition control strategy for turbulent channel flow with the results compared to prior direct numerical simulations and large-eddy simulations (LES). In all cases, the VMS method is found to be more efficient and more accurate than traditio...

The variational multi-scale (VMS) method for large-eddy simulation (LES) is a promising new approach that employs variational projection to achieve a priori scale separation in lieu of traditional spatial filtering. However, depending on the numerical method used, VMS may not be practicable in all spatial directions. We apply the VMS methodology to a numerical method that does not support expli...
متن کاملThe Local Variational Multiscale Method ?
Combining the variational multiscale (VMS) method for large-eddy simulation with a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) spatial discretization leads to a synergistic approach to turbulence simulation that we call the local variational multiscale (`VMS) method. In `VMS the flexibility of DG enables the large and small-scale spaces to be set on each element independently. In this paper, preliminary result...
متن کاملA Variational Multiscale Method for the Large Eddy Simulation of Compressible Turbulent Flows on Moving/Deforming Unstructured Grids
In this extended abstract a three level formulation of the variational multiscale (VMS) large eddy simulation (LES) method for turbulent flow computations on moving/deforming grids is presented. A consistent method to improve the VMS-LES method by computing the small-scale Smagorinsky constant (C′ s) dynamically as the flow develops (dynamic VMS-LES) is also developed. An application of VMS-LES...

The high cost of wind tunnel testing and the ongoing reduction in national wind tunnel facilities are forcing the aerospace engineering community to increasingly rely on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict the performance of new aircraft designs. However, most aerospace applications are characterized by flows that exhibit large-scale unsteady turbulence and the accurate prediction of ...
