The multiscale formulation of large eddy simulation: Decay of homogeneous isotropic turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The variational multiscale method is applied to the large eddy simulation ~LES! of homogeneous, isotropic flows and compared with the classical Smagorinsky model, the dynamic Smagorinsky model, and direct numerical simulation ~DNS! data. Overall, the multiscale method is in better agreement with the DNS data than both the Smagorinsky model and the dynamic Smagorinsky model. The results are somewhat remarkable when one realizes that the multiscale method is almost identical to the Smagorinsky model ~the least accurate model!! except for removal of the eddy viscosity from a very small percentage of the lowest modes. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1332391#

Simulation of Low Reynolds Number Isotropic Turbulence Including the Passive Scalar
Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...
متن کاملEnergy transfers and spectral eddy viscosity in large-eddy simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence: Comparison of dynamic Smagorinsky and multiscale models over a range of discretizations
Energy transfers within LES and DNS grids are studied. The spectral eddy viscosity for conventional dynamic Smagorinsky and variational multiscale LES methods are compared with DNS results. Both models underestimate the DNS results for a very coarse LES, but the dynamic Smagorinsky model is significantly better. For moderately to well-refined LES, the dynamic Smagorinsky model overestimates the...
متن کاملThe residual-based variational multiscale formulation for the large eddy simulation of compressible flows
The residual-based variational multiscale formulation is applied to develop a large eddy simulation (LES) model for compressible flows. In addition, a mixed model, in which a deviatoric Smagorinsky subgrid stress term is added to the RBVM terms to better model the Reynolds stresses is proposed. These models, along with the dynamic Smagorinsky-Yoshizawa-eddy diffusivity model are tested in predi...
متن کاملVariational Multiscale Residual-driven Turbulence Modeling for Large Eddy Simulation of Incompressible Flow
The objectives of recent variational multiscale work in turbulence have been to capture all scales consistently and to avoid use of eddy viscosities altogether. This holds the promise of more accurate and efficient LES procedures. In this work, we describe a new variational multiscale formulation, which makes considerable progress toward these goals.

Energy development of decaying isotropic turbulence in a 3-D periodic cube with non-rotating or rotating frames of reference is studied through direct numerical simulation using GPU accelerated lattice Boltzmann method. The initial turbulence is isotropic, generated in spectral space with prescribed energy spectrum E(κ)~κm in a range between κmin and ...
