چکیده

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are limited to relatively low-Reynolds numbers. Therefore, dynamically less complex mathematical formulations are necessary for coarse-grain simulations. Regularization and eddy-viscosity models for Large-Eddy Simulation are examples thereof. They rely on differential operators that should be able to capture well different flow configurations (laminar and 2D flows, near-wall behavior, transitional regime...). Most of them are based on the combination of invariants of a symmetric second-order tensor that is derived from the gradient of the resolved velocity field. In the present work, they are presented in a framework where all the models are represented as a combination of elements of a 5D phase space of invariants. In this way, new models can be constructed by imposing appropriate restrictions in this space. Moreover, since the discretization errors may play an important role, a novel approach to discretize the viscous term with spatially varying eddy-viscosity is used. It is based on basic operators; therefore, the implementation is straightforward even for staggered formulations. The performance of the proposed methods will be assessed by means of direct comparison to DNS reference results.

Alpha-modeling Strategy for Les of Turbulent Mixing

The α-modeling strategy is followed to derive a new subgrid parameterization of the turbulent stress tensor in large-eddy simulation (LES). The LES-α modeling yields an explicitly filtered subgrid parameterization which contains the filtered nonlinear gradient model as well as a model which represents ‘Leray-regularization’. The LES-α model is compared with similarity and eddy-viscosity models ...

Development of regularization modeling and error-control in large-eddy simulation

Numerical simulation is developing into a viable research-tool to help understand dispersion and structure in turbulence. In order to make progress toward simulating flows under realistic flowconditions and in complex flow-domains, large-eddy simulation appears an essential stepping-stone. This requires a combination of accurate numerical treatment and proper (subgrid) modeling of the dynamic e...

Large-eddy simulation in an anelastic framework with closed water and entropy balances

A large-eddy simulation (LES) framework is developed for simulating the dynamics of clouds and boundary layers with closed water and entropy balances. The framework is based on the anelastic equations in a formulation that remains accurate for deep convection. As prognostic variables, it uses total water and entropy, which are conserved in adiabatic and reversible processes, including reversibl...
