چکیده

The Mixed Scale Diffusivity Model, originally developed in the case of the differentially heated cavity, is applied to compute turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard flow in an infinite fluid layer at Pr = 0.71 for a large range of Rayleigh numbers (6.3 × 10 – 2 × 10). The effect of this SGS modelling, which adjusts locally the SGS diffusivity to the thermal scales of the flow and results in variable PrSGS like the dynamic approach, is emphasised by comparison with LES and TRANS literature data. A single scaling regime is found in a range of Rayleigh numbers 6.3 × 10 – 2 × 10, whose properties include the Ra scaling law for the Nusselt number and for the thermal boundary layer thickness, in agreement with the experimental correlation of Niemela et al. (2000). The first indication of a transition towards a new regime appears above Ra = 10.

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...

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubes submerged in an emulated atmospheric boundary-layer

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...

A New Model for Prediction of Heat Eddy Diffusivity in Pipe Expansion Turbulent Flows

A new model to calculate heat eddy diffusivity in separating and reattaching flows based on modification of constant Prt is proposed. This modification is made using an empirical correlation between maximum Nusselt number and entrance Reynolds number. The model includes both the simplicity of Prt=0.9 assumption and the accuracy of two-equation heat-transfer models. Furthermore, an appropriate l...

New subgrid-scale models for large-eddy simulation of Rayleigh-Bénard convection

At the crossroad between flow topology analysis and the theory of turbulence, a new eddy-viscosity model for Large-eddy simulation has been recently proposed by Trias et al .[PoF, 27, 065103 (2015)]. The S3PQR-model has the proper cubic near-wall behaviour and no intrinsic limitations for statistically inhomogeneous flows. In this work, the new model has been tested for an air turbulent Rayleig...
