Book Tests of Subgrid Scale Models in Strained Turbulence  Studies of the Structure of Homogeneous Shear Flows  Developing a Model of Turbulence Near a Wall from Solutions of the Navier Stokes Equations

Download or read book Tests of Subgrid Scale Models in Strained Turbulence Studies of the Structure of Homogeneous Shear Flows Developing a Model of Turbulence Near a Wall from Solutions of the Navier Stokes Equations written by J. H. Ferziger and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three studies are described, each of which makes use of turbulent flow fields calculated using the Navier-Stokes equations. In the first study, exact numerical solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations are used to evaluate subgrid-scale models used in large-eddy simulations. The flows investigated are homogeneous and incompressible with strong imposed mean strain or shear. Models evaluated include the conventional Smagorinsky model as well as a recently introduced formulation based on the notion of scale similarity. In the second study, exact numberical simulations of homogeneous shear flows are examined using various computer-graphic tools, the aim being to attempt to understand the mechanisms underlying the production of turbulence energy and growth of length scales in such flows. The subject of the third study is the development of a computational model of the viscous sublayer of wall-bounded incompressible turbulent flow. In this work, the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations, suitably simplified, are solved subject to boundary conditions imposed at the outer edge of the viscous sublayer. The formulation of these edge conditions so that computed average distributions of turbulence quantities agree with experimental data through the sublayer is the essence of work.

Book Modeling Complex Turbulent Flows

Download or read book Modeling Complex Turbulent Flows written by Manuel D. Salas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-04-30 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence modeling both addresses a fundamental problem in physics, 'the last great unsolved problem of classical physics,' and has far-reaching importance in the solution of difficult practical problems from aeronautical engineering to dynamic meteorology. However, the growth of supercom puter facilities has recently caused an apparent shift in the focus of tur bulence research from modeling to direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES). This shift in emphasis comes at a time when claims are being made in the world around us that scientific analysis itself will shortly be transformed or replaced by a more powerful 'paradigm' based on massive computations and sophisticated visualization. Although this viewpoint has not lacked ar ticulate and influential advocates, these claims can at best only be judged premature. After all, as one computational researcher lamented, 'the com puter only does what I tell it to do, and not what I want it to do. ' In turbulence research, the initial speculation that computational meth ods would replace not only model-based computations but even experimen tal measurements, have not come close to fulfillment. It is becoming clear that computational methods and model development are equal partners in turbulence research: DNS and LES remain valuable tools for suggesting and validating models, while turbulence models continue to be the preferred tool for practical computations. We believed that a symposium which would reaffirm the practical and scientific importance of turbulence modeling was both necessary and timely.

Book Implicit Large Eddy Simulation

Download or read book Implicit Large Eddy Simulation written by Fernando F. Grinstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The numerical simulation of turbulent flows is a subject of great practical importance to scientists and engineers. The difficulty in achieving predictive simulations is perhaps best illustrated by the wide range of approaches that have been developed and are still being used by the turbulence modeling community. In this book the authors describe one of these approaches, Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). ILES is a relatively new approach that combines generality and computational efficiency with documented success in many areas of complex fluid flow. This book synthesizes the theoretical basis of the ILES methodology and reviews its accomplishments. ILES pioneers and lead researchers combine here their experience to present a comprehensive description of the methodology. This book should be of fundamental interest to graduate students, basic research scientists, as well as professionals involved in the design and analysis of complex turbulent flows.

Book Direct and Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulence

Download or read book Direct and Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulence written by NA Schumann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented to a EUROMECH-Colloquium held in Munich, September 30 to October 2, 1985. The Colloquium is number 199 in a series of colloquia inaugurated by the European Mechanics Committee. The meeting was jointly organized by the 'Lehrstuhl fur Stromungsmechanik' at the 'Technische Universitat Munchen' and the 'Institut fur Physik der Atmosphare' of the 'Deutsche Forschungs- und Versuchsanstalt fur Luft- und Raumfahrt' (DFVLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen. 'Direct' and 'large eddy simulation' are terms which denote two closely con nected methods of turbulence research. In a 'direct simulation' (DS), turbu lent motion is simulated by numerically integrating the Navier-Stokes equations in three-dimensional space and as a function of time. Besides ini tial and boundary conditions no physical simplifications are involved. Com puter resources limit the resolution in time and space, though simulations with an order of one million discrete points in space are feasible. The simu lated flow fields can be considered as true realizations of turbulent flow fields and analysed to answer questions on the basic behaviour of turbulence. Direct simulations are valid as long as all the excited scales remain within the band of resolved scales. This means that viscosity must be strong enough to damp out the not resolved scales or the simulation is restricted to a lim ited integration-time interval only. In summary, DS provides a tool to investigate turbulent motions from first principles at least for a finite band of scales.
