The Dissipation Rate Transport Equation and Subgrid-Scale Models in Rotating Turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dissipation rate transport equation remains the most uncertain part of turbulence modeling. The difficulties are increased when external agencies like rotation prevent straightforward dimensional analysis from determining the correct form of the modelled equation. In this work, the dissipation rate transport equation and subgrid scale models for rotating turbulence are derived from an analytical statistical theory of rotating turbulence. In the strong rotation limit, the theory predicts a turbulent steady state in which the inertial range energy spectrum scales as k−2 and the turbulent time scale is the inverse rotation rate. This scaling has been derived previously by heuristic arguments.

Schiestel’s Derivation of the Epsilon Equation and Two Equation Modeling of Rotating Turbulence
As part of a more general program of developing multiple-scale models of turbulence, Schiestel suggested a derivation of the homogeneous part of the dissipation rate transport equation. Schiestel's approach is generalized to rotating turbulence. The resulting model reproduces the main features observed in decaying rotating turbulence.

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 vortex-based subgrid stress model for large-eddy simulation
A class of subgrid stress ~SGS! models for large-eddy simulation ~LES! is presented based on the idea of structure-based Reynolds-stress closure. The subgrid structure of the turbulence is assumed to consist of stretched vortices whose orientations are determined by the resolved velocity field. An equation which relates the subgrid stress to the structure orientation and the subgrid kinetic ene...
