On the Impact of Tangential Grid Refinement on Subgrid-Scale Modelling in Large Eddy Simulation

چکیده
The paper presents Large Eddy Simulations of plane channel flow at a friction Reynolds number of 180 and 395 with a block-structured Finite Volume method. Local grid refinement near the solid wall is employed in order to reduce the computational cost of such simulations or other simulations of wall-bounded flows. Different subgrid-scale models are employed and different expressions for the length scale in these models are investigated. It turns out that the numerical discretization has an non-negligible impact on the computed fluctuations.

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...

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...

متن کاملJ4.3 Large-eddy Simulation across a Grid Refinement Interface Using Explicit Filtering and Reconstruction
Large-eddy simulation (LES) is commonly used in atmospheric simulations when the domain size is small enough to allow grid spacing that resolves turbulence. At these resolutions LES is more accurate than the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models used for mesoscale simulations, but far less computationally intensive than direct numerical simulation (DNS). Grid nesting, used to transfer t...
متن کاملInteracting errors in large-eddy simulation: a review of recent developments
The accuracy of large-eddy simulations is limited, among others, by the quality of the subgrid parameterisation and the numerical contamination of the smaller retained flow structures. We review the effects of discretisation and modelling errors from two different perspectives. We first show that spatial discretisation induces its own filter and compare the dynamic importance of this numerical ...
