Dynamic Smagorinsky model on anisotropic grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
To examine the performance of the dynamic Smagorinsky model in a controlled fashion on anisotropic grids, simulations of forced isotropic turbulence are performed using highly anisotropic discretizations. The resulting model coefficients are compared with an earlier prediction. Two extreme cases are considered: pancake-like grids, for which two directions are poorly resolved compared to the third, and pencil-like grids, where one direction is poorly resolved when compared to the other two. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S1070-6631~97!01406-2#

Energy transfers and spectral eddy viscosity in large-eddy simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence: Comparison of dynamic Smagorinsky and multiscale models over a range of discretizations
Energy transfers within LES and DNS grids are studied. The spectral eddy viscosity for conventional dynamic Smagorinsky and variational multiscale LES methods are compared with DNS results. Both models underestimate the DNS results for a very coarse LES, but the dynamic Smagorinsky model is significantly better. For moderately to well-refined LES, the dynamic Smagorinsky model overestimates the...
متن کاملSmagorinsky constant in LES modeling of anisotropic MHD turbulence
Turbulent fluctuations in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows can become strongly anisotropic or even quasi-2D under the action of an applied magnetic field. We investigate this phenomenon in the case of low magnetic Reynolds numbers. It has been found in earlier DNS and LES of homogeneous turbulence that the degree of anisotropy is predominantly determined by the value of the magnetic interaction ...
متن کاملFor Submission to Physics of Fluids a Recommended Modiication to the Dynamic Two-parameter Mixed Subgrid Scale Model for Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Flow
It is well known that the correlation between the Smagorinsky model and the subgrid scale stress is low, while the model based on the scale similarity assumption has considerably higher correlation. However, the scale similarity model by itself does not work well in a shear ow simulation because it seems passive on the mean velocity. Therefore the model is usually used together with the Smagori...

Large eddy simulation (LES) using the dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM) (Germano et al., 1991) and discretely kinetic energy conserving numerical methods (Mahesh et al., 2004) has successfully predicted complex flows such as gas turbine combustors and marine propulsor crashback (e.g. Vyšohlid and Mahesh (2005); Chang et al. (2008); Jang and Mahesh (2010, 2012); Verma et al. (2012)). This paper di...

Planar straining and destraining of turbulence is an idealized form of turbulencemeanflow interaction that is representative of many complex engineering applications. This paper studies experimentally the response of turbulence subjected to a process involving planar straining, a brief relaxation and destraining. Subsequent analysis quantifies the impact of the applied distortions on model coef...
