چکیده
MATTHEW D. JAMES: An Investigation of Turbulent Streaming by Direct Numerical and Large Eddy Simulation (Under the direction of Alberto Scotti) Above a solid bottom beneath non-linear shallow water waves, it is found that due to turbulence asymmetry between subsequent wave half-cycles, a net drift is generated in the direction opposite of surface wave propagation. This phenomenon is investigated by means of numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. With the aid of a turbulence model within a large eddy simulation, turbulent streaming is observed at a higher Reynolds number than has previously been considered. During steady intervals when wave-average Reynolds and viscous stresses are in balance, the expected streaming behavior is observed, with direct dependence on Re. Included with these findings is the interesting absence of bottom shear associated with this streaming. The behavior of turbulent streaming during stress imbalance is also explored and a mechanism for streaming spin-up proposed.

Mixed Large-Eddy Simulation Model for Turbulent Flows across Tube Bundles Using Parallel Coupled Multiblock NS Solver
In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...
