Model-Invariant Hybrid LES-RANS Computation of Separated Flow Past Periodic Hills
نویسنده
چکیده
The requirement that physical quantities not vary with a hybrid LESRANS model’s blending parameter imposes conditions on the computation that lead to better results across LES-RANS transitions. This promises to allow placement of those transitions so that LES is performed only where required by the physics, improving computational efficiency. The approach is applied to separated flow past periodic hills, where good predictions of separation-bubble size are seen due to the gradual, controlled, LES-RANS transition and the resulting enhanced near-wall eddy viscosity.

Simulating Flow over Periodic Hills Using a Dual-Mesh Hybrid Solver with High-Order LES
In this work, we present a hybrid solver coupling a high-order LES solver with Cartesian mesh and a RANS solver with body-fitting mesh. This hybrid solver is developed within a dual-mesh consistent hybrid framework, where LES and RANS simulations for the same flow are conducted simultaneously on different computational domains and different meshes. In the LES, an immersed boundary method with r...
متن کاملWall-modeled large eddy simulation in complex geometries with application to high-lift devices
In large eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows, the need to resolve energycarrying eddies in the vicinity of the wall leads to a prohibitive cost which prevents its use at very high Reynolds numbers. To overcome this limitation, many attempts have been made in the last two decades to model the unresolved scales near the wall. These works mainly focused on two different approaches: hybrid...
متن کاملHybrid RANS/LES computation of plane impinging jet flow
Flow characteristics are presented of simulation results of plane impinging jets at high nozzle-plate distances, with two k-ω based hybrid RANS/LES (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes/Large–Eddy Simulation) models and a k-ω RANS model. The first hybrid RANS/LES model is obtained by substitution of the turbulent length scale by the local grid size in the destruction term of the turbulent kinetic en...
متن کاملA Dual -‐ Mesh Framework for Turbulence Modeling : Application to Flow Around a Circular Cylinder
To overcome this difficulty, various hybrid LES/RANS approaches have been developed, where RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) equations are solved in the near-wall region while LES is only conducted in the free-shear region away from the wall [Fröhlich and von Terzi 2008]. One of the methods to address this issue is a consistent framework for turbulence modeling, where the filtered and Reyn...

The objective of this study is to evaluate a recently proposed dynamic hybrid Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-Large Eddy Simulation (LES) modeling framework that seeks to effectively address issues regarding RANS-to-LES transition and explicit grid dependence inherent in most current hybrid RANS-LES (HRL) models. RANSto-LES transition in the investigated dynamic HRL (DHRL) model is based ...
