This book was released on 2009-03-07 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach. This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

This book was released on 2007-07-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first passenger car with internal combustion (IC) engine was developed over 120 years ago, the device has been significantly improved regarding efficiency, emissions, smoothness and ease of use. Today IC-engines are used in roughly 850 million passenger cars worldwide. Even though many other concepts as e.g. fuel cells are investigated, it seems that no system can replace IC-engines in the near and intermediate future. Two different combustion concepts are considered to have the potential to full fill future requirements with respect to fuel consumption and emission standards: turbo-charged diesel and stratified spark ignition (SI) engines with high pressure direct injection (DI) systems. Both systems can operate with overall lean air/fuel mixtures. The first DISI-engine in a passenger car used a homogeneous air/fuel mixture. It was implemented in 1951 in the models Gutbrod Superior and Goliath GP 700 leading to a significant reduction in fuel consumption. The first application in mass production of direct injection systems in SI-engines was in 1997 in the Mitsubishi Carisma GDI (gasoline direct injection). The greatest issues of stratified DISI-engines today, which give a much higher potential in fuel consumption economy compared to the homogeneous combustion concept, are combustion stability and emissions. Cycle-to-cycle variations of the gas motion have been identified to play a key role in the further optimization of the device since they have a great impact on the combustion process. Engine parameters are set according to the behavior of the mean cycle. However, the extreme engine cycles, cycles of greatest and slowest burning rates, determine the operating range of the engine. Consequently, the optimal spark timing, equivalence ratio and compression ratio are a compromise. A critical issue in stratified DISI-engines is that cyclic variations are substantial to the combustibility of the air/fuel mixture at the time of the discharge of the spark plug leading to partial burning or even misfire, which is undesirable in terms of engine roughness, efficiency and unburned hydrocarbon emissions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with common Reynolds averaged Naviers-Stokes (RANS) turbulence modeling has been established to be a very efficient and reliable tool within the design process of IC-engines. I. e. optimization of engine geometries can be accomplished with a short turnaround time. Additionally, insights into various physical processes can be gained that are difficult to study experimentally. However, this approach is limited by definition if unsteady features such as cycle-to-cycle variations are investigated and cannot capture this kind of phenomenon. On the other hand, large eddy simulation (LES) provides the ability to predict cyclic variations because smaller spatial scales and temporal fluctuations are resolved. Since in LES a significantly smaller range of turbulent length scales needs to be modeled compared to the RANS approach, the accuracy of LES is superior to RANS. However, resolving smaller temporal and spatial scales requires higher order numerical schemes, smaller time steps and higher resolutions of the computational grids. This can lead to a significant increase of CPU time compared to RANS. For wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds number and in complex geometries hybrid RANS/LES approaches have become more and more popular in the recent years. They combine attractive features of both methods. These methods provide the opportunity to use LES in regions, where its performance is known to be essentially superior to RANS. In other regions, where the accuracy and the averaged information on turbulent properties is sufficient, RANS can be used in order to save CPU-time. In contrast to pure RANS temporal fluctuations can be resolved in the LES regions in hybrid methods giving these approaches the potential to predict cycle-to-cycle variations or other turbulent flows of highly unsteady nature. The present work focuses on unsteady turbulent flow phenomena in IC-engines such as cyclic variations of the gas motion and investigates the ability of subgrid turbulence modeling to predict those. In Chapter 2 the basic physical principles of fluid dynamics and turbulent flows are described both phenomenologically and based on the underlying governing equations. Furthermore, a review of filtering operations applied to the Navier Stokes equations and state of the art turbulence modeling is given. The different methods as well as the corresponding specific treatment of the boundary conditions of conventional RANS simulation and LES are presented and the hybrid RANS/LES method is introduced. The numerical requirements for the hybrid approach in terms of spatial and temporal schemes as well as the meshing method that is needed for the computation of flows in complex geometries with moving boundaries as in IC-engines are described in Chapter 3. Different numerical schemes of the CFD code CFX, which is used in this work, are evaluated and tested against the numerics of other commercial and academic codes. In Chapter 4 the hybrid method is tested against measurements and data of direct numerical simulation (DNS) for simple flow cases. For a fundamental evaluation of the approach classic turbulence test cases such as the decay of homogeneous isotropic turbulence and the flow past a backward-facing step are used. The most relevant flow configurations in engine development are the steady flow through an intake port/valve assembly and the transient flow in a reciprocating engine. However, before the hybrid method is applied to these complex turbulent flows in IC engines at high Reynolds number, simplified configurations of theses cases are investigated. The hybrid RANS/LES method is compared to RANS and LES computations in terms of accuracy and level of information on turbulence properties. Chapter 5 is dedicated to flows in IC-engines. The specific flow characteristics are described and quantified and key issues in engine design are discussed. The hybrid RANS/LES method is used for the computation of the steady flow through an intake port and the multi-cycle simulation of the flow in a series production BMW engine. Optical measurements are used to evaluate the quality of the averaged flow field of the simulation as well as the ability to predict cyclic variations of the gas motion in IC-engines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers the proceedings of the 11th workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (DLES), which was held in Pisa, Italy in May 2017. The event focused on modern techniques for simulating turbulent flows based on the partial or full resolution of the instantaneous turbulent flow structures, as Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) or hybrid models based on a combination of LES and RANS approaches. In light of the growing capacities of modern computers, these approaches have been gaining more and more interest over the years and will undoubtedly be developed and applied further. The workshop offered a unique opportunity to establish a state-of-the-art of DNS, LES and related techniques for the computation and modeling of turbulent and transitional flows and to discuss about recent advances and applications. This volume contains most of the contributed papers, which were submitted and further reviewed for publication. They cover advances in computational techniques, SGS modeling, boundary conditions, post-processing and data analysis, and applications in several fields, namely multiphase and reactive flows, convection and heat transfer, compressible flows, aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, bluff-body and separated flows, internal flows and wall turbulence and other complex flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In various branches of fluid mechanics, our understanding is inhibited by the presence of turbulence. Although many experimental and theoretical studies have significantly helped to increase our physical understanding, a comp- hensive and predictive theory of turbulent flows has not yet been established. Therefore, the prediction of turbulent flow relies heavily on simulation stra- gies. The development of reliable methods for turbulent flow computation will have a significant impact on a variety of technological advancements. These range from aircraft and car design, to turbomachinery, combustors, and process engineering. Moreover, simulation approaches are important in materials - sign, prediction of biologically relevant flows, and also significantly contribute to the understanding of environmental processes including weather and climate forecasting. The material that is compiled in this book presents a coherent account of contemporary computational approaches for turbulent flows. It aims to p- vide the reader with information about the current state of the art as well as to stimulate directions for future research and development. The book puts part- ular emphasis on computational methods for incompressible and compressible turbulent flows as well as on methods for analysing and quantifying nume- cal errors in turbulent flow computations. In addition, it presents turbulence modelling approaches in the context of large eddy simulation, and unfolds the challenges in the field of simulations for multiphase flows and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of engineering flows in complex geometries. Apart from reviewing main research developments, new material is also included in many of the chapters.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work discusses the development, the verification and the validation of high-order (of accuracy) solvers for the simulation of turbulent fluid flows. In a first part, a methodology for the verification of high-order solvers is proposed which examines the implementation, in a given computer software, of mathematical models that represent the flow dynamics. The method of manufactured solutions is adopted which allows for the exact evaluation of discretization errors and observed orders of accuracy. The latter are compared to the theoretical orders of accuracy for a variety of increasingly complex problems, starting from unbounded (by walls) inviscid flows and gradually reaching the case of realistic turbulent boundary layers, modelled by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, along with the original and the negative Spalart-Allmaras closure models. Each case serves to illustrate and discuss salient aspects of the proposed methodology.Code verification via manufactured solutions is furthermore distinguished from solution verification and the latter is extended to high-order frameworks by describing the approach for error estimation via extrapolation of high-order solutions which is applied, as an example, to the case of turbulent flow over a flat plate. This exercise enabled the exploration into the question of high-order grid convergence for various output quantities of interest as well as the question of uncertainty analysis. This pointed at the inadequacy of substituting solution verification to proper high-order solver verification, even for a relatively simple problem and an expert set of grids. It is therefore recommended to use the solutions of actual problems for engineering and science applications, only along with estimated numerical uncertainties, especially for lower orders which are more error-prone. In the second part of this work, a compact high-order variational multiscale method for the large-eddy simulation of turbulence is devised and validated. The existing multiscale method is thus expanded from modal frameworks to a large family of compact high-order nodal schemes, represented by the recent flux reconstruction discretization method. The potential of the proposed formulation is then assessed on a Taylor-Green vortex problem and its results are validated against the filtered data from direct numerical simulations. It is thus revealed that proper de-aliasing is mandatory to conserve the quality of high-order large-eddy simulation. Furthermore, reducing the numerical dissipation of Roe's Riemann solver is found to contribute to improving low-Mach flow solutions for variational multiscale methods. Finally, the proposed variational-multiscale formulation resulted in noticeable improvements over the baseline implicit as well as the classical large-eddy simulations." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles focus on new developments in the field of large-eddy simulation of complex flows and are related to the topics: modelling and analysis of subgrid scales, numerical issues in LES cartesian grids for complex geometries, curvilinear and non-structured grids for complex geometries. DES and RANS-LES coupling, aircraft wake vortices, combustion and magnetohydrodynamics. Progress has been made not only in understanding and modelling the dynamics of unresolved scales, but also in designing means that prevent the contamination of LES predictions by discretization errors. Progress is reported as well on the use of cartesian and curvilinear coordinates to compute flow in and around complex geometries and in the field of LES with unstructured grids. A chapter is dedicated to the detached-eddy simulation technique and its recent achievements and to the promising technique of coupling RANS and LES solutions in order to push the resolution-based Reynolds number limit of wall-resolving LES to higher values. Complexity due to physical mechanisms links the last two chapters. It is shown that LES constitutes the tool to analyse the physics of aircraft wake vortices during landing and takeoff. Its thorough understanding is a prerequisite for reliable predictions of the distance between consecutive landing airplanes. Subgrid combustion modelling for LES of single and two-phase reacting flows is demonstrated to have the potential to deal with finite-rate kinetics in high Reynolds number flows of full-scale gas turbine engines. Fluctuating magnetic fields are more reliably predicted by LES when tensor-diffusivity rather than gradient-diffusion models are used. An encouraging result in the context of turbulence control by magnetic fields.

Download or read book A New Approach for Turbulent Simulations in Complex Geometries written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically turbulence modeling has been sharply divided into Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), in which all the turbulent scales of motion are modeled, and large-eddy simulation (LES), in which only a portion of the turbulent spectrum is modeled. In recent years there have been numerous attempts to couple these two approaches either by patching RANS and LES calculations together (zonal methods) or by blending the two sets of equations. In order to create a proper bridging model, that is, a single set of equations which captures both RANS and LES like behavior, it is necessary to place both RANS and LES in a more general framework. The goal of the current work is threefold: to provide such a framework, to demonstrate how the Flow Simulation Methodology (FSM) fits into this framework, and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the current version of the FSM. To do this, first a set of filtered Navier-Stokes (FNS) equations are introduced in terms of an arbitrary generalized filter. Additional exact equations are given for the second order moments and the generalized subfilted dissipation rate tensor. This is followed by a discussion of the role of implicit and explicit filters in turbulence modeling. The FSM is then described with particular attention to its role as a bridging model. In order to evaluate the method a specific implementation of the FSM approach is proposed. Simulations are presented using this model for the case of separating flow over a"hump" with and without flow control. Careful attention is paid to error estimation, and, in particular, how using flow statistics and time series affects the error analysis. Both mean flow and Reynolds stress profiles are presented, as well as the phase averaged turbulent structures and wall pressure spectra. Using the phase averaged data it is possible to examine how the FSM partitions the energy between the coherent resolved scale motions, the random resolved scale fluctuations, and the subfilter quantities. The method proves to be qualitatively successful at reproducing large turbulent structures. However, like other hybrid methods, it has difficulty in the region where the model behavior transitions from RANS to LES> Consequently the phase averaged structures reproduce the experiments quite well, and the forcing does significantly reduce the length of the separated region. Nevertheless, the recirculation length is signficantly too large for all cases. Overall the current results demonstrate the promise of bridging models in general and the FSM in particular. However, current bridging techniques are still in their infancy. There is still important progress to be made and it is hoped that this work points out the more important avenues for exploration.

STAB is the German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association, founded towards the end of the 1970's, whereas DGLR is the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt - Lilienthal Oberth e.V.). The mission of STAB is to foster development and acceptance of the discipline “Aerodynamics” in Germany. One of its general guidelines is to concentrate resources and know-how in the involved institutions and to avoid duplication in research work as much as possible. Nowadays, this is more necessary than ever. The experience made in the past makes it easier now, to obtain new knowledge for solving today's and tomorrow's problems. STAB unites German scientists and engineers from universities, research-establishments and industry doing research and project work in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics for aerospace and other applications. This has always been the basis of numerous common research activities sponsored by different funding agencies. Since 1986 the symposium has taken place at different locations in Germany every two years. In between STAB workshops regularly take place at the DLR in Göttingen.
