Numerical Analysis of Three-dimensional Turbulent Flow by Finite Element Method and Large Eddy Simulation

چکیده
Formulation, implementation and applications of a numerical algorithm to simulate turbulent, incompressible, isothermal flows are the main objectives of this work. The transient three-dimensional flow is analyzed using an explicit Taylor-Galerkin scheme and the finite element method with hexahedrical eight-node element. The scheme adopted for turbulence treatment is Large Eddy Simulation. For sub-grid scales two models where implemented, the classical Smagorinsky ́s model and the dynamic eddy viscosity model. For the process of second filtration, which is necessary in the dynamic model, a new method was developed based on independent finite elements that involve each node in the original mesh. The implemented scheme is efficient and good results with low additional computational cost were obtained. Results for classical problems where presented, that demonstrate the system validation. Comments about the scheme applicability for flows with high Reynolds number are presented in the last part.

n this work, computational fluid dynamics of the flow behavior in a cold flow of fluidized bed is studied. An improved finite volume based finite element method has been introduced to solve the two-phase gas/solid flow hydrodynamic equations. This method uses a collocated grid, where all variables are located at the nodal points. The fluid dynamic model for gas/solid two-phase flow is based on ...

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
