Analysis of numerical errors in large eddy simulation using statistical closure theory

چکیده
This paper develops a dynamic error analysis procedure for the numerical errors arising from spatial discretization in large-eddy simulation. The analysis is based on EDQNM closure theory, and is applied to the LES of decaying isotropic turbulence. First, the effects of finite-differencing truncation error, aliasing error and the dynamic Smagorinsky model are independently considered. The time-evolution of kinetic energy and spectra predicted by the analysis are compared to actual LES using the Navier–Stokes equations, and good agreement is obtained. The analysis is then extended to simultaneously consider all sources of error in a second-order discretely energy conserving, central-difference LES solver. Good agreement between the analysis and actual LES is obtained. The analysis is used to compare the contribution of the subgrid model to that of numerical errors, and it is shown that the contribution of the subgrid scale model is much higher than the numerical errors. The proposed one-dimensional EDQNM-LES model shows potential as a more general tool for the analysis of numerical error, and SGS model in simulations of turbulent flow. 2006 Elsevier Inc.

A localised subgrid scale model for fluid dynamical simulations in astrophysics I: Theory and numerical tests
We present a one-equation subgrid scale model that evolves the turbulence energy corresponding to unresolved velocity fluctuations in large eddy simulations. The model is derived in the context of the Germano consistent decomposition of the hydrodynamical equations. The eddy-viscosity closure for the rate of energy transfer from resolved toward subgrid scales is localised by means of a dynamica...
متن کاملA posteriori analysis of numerical errors in subfilter scalar variance modeling for large eddy simulation
Subfilter scalar variance is a critical indicator of small scale mixing in large eddy simulation LES of turbulent combustion and is an important parameter of conserved scalar based combustion models. Realistic combustion models have a highly nonlinear dependence on the conserved scalar, making the prediction of flow thermochemistry sensitive to errors in subfilter variance modeling, including e...
متن کاملTest Models for Filtering with Superparameterization
Superparameterization is a fast numerical algorithm to mitigate implicit scale separation of dynamical systems with large-scale, slowly varying ‘mean’, and smaller scale, rapidly fluctuating ‘eddy’ term. The main idea of superparameterization is to embed parallel highly resolved simulations of small scale eddies on each grid cell of coarsely resolved large scale dynamics. In this paper, we stud...
