Large Eddy Simulation of Evolution of a Passive Scalar in Plane Jet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is performed to investigate the passive scalar development in a plane jet. This is a follow-up of our previous simulation of the jet ow eld. The LES results are compared to both experiments and direct numerical simulation (DNS). Two subgrid models are investigated: the dynamic Smagorinsky model and the dynamic mixed model. It is found that the evolution of mean scalar and turbulent scalar intensity is well represented. Some properties of the LES models such as the evolution of the dynamic constant and the subgrid viscosity are also discussed. Pro les of higher scalar moments show non-Gaussianity near the jet boundaries that is associated with external intermittency. Finally, the probability density function (PDF) of the passive scalar computed with LES is obtained and compared with the true PDF obtained with DNS. The LES approach is found able to represent the main characteristics of the PDF including qualitative changes during its initial evolution.

متن کاملDirect numerical simulation of passive scalar transport in transverse jets
Direct numerical simulation is used to study passive scalar transport and mixing in a round turbulent jet, in a laminar crossflow. The ratio of the jet velocity to that of the crossflow is 5.7, the Schmidt number of the scalar is 1.49, and the jet-exit Reynolds number is 5000. The scalar field is used to compute entrainment of the crossflow fluid by the jet. It is shown that the bulk of this en...
متن کاملSimulation 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 کاملA vortex-based model for the subgrid flux of a passive scalar
A model for the ux of a passive scalar by the subgrid motions in the largeeddy simulation of turbulent ow is proposed within the framework of the stretched-vortex subgrid stress model. The model is based on an analytical solution for the winding of a scalar eld by an elemental subgrid vortex. This gives a tensor gradient-di usion expression for the local ux of the scalar with subgrid turbulent ...
