Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct and Large Eddy Simulation approaches are used to study internal tide generation and turbulence at a model topography. A three dimensional finite difference code using an immersed boundary method is developed to simulate stratified turbulent flows over complex geometry on a Cartesian grid. The thesis is comprised of two phases. In the first phase, a mixed spectral/finite difference code is used to solve the governing equations in generalized coordinates. Direct and large eddy simulations are performed using a body fitted grid (BFG) to study the internal waves generated by the oscillation of a barotropic tide over a model ridge of triangular shape. The objective is to assess the role of nonlinear interactions including turbulence in situations with low tidal excursion number. The criticality parameter, defined as the ratio of the topographic slope to the characteristic slope of the tidal rays, is varied from subcritical to supercritical values. The barotropic tidal forcing is also systematically increased. In laminar flow at low forcing, numerical results of the energy conversion agree well compared to linear theory in subcritical and supercritical cases but not at critical slope angle. In critical and supercritical cases with higher forcing, there are convective overturns, turbulence and significant reduction (as much as 25%) of the radiated wave flux with respect to laminar flow results. The phase dependence of turbulence within a tidal cycle is examined and found to differ substantially between the ridge slope and the ridge top where the beams from the two sides cross. In the second phase, a sharp-interface Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) is developed to simulate high Reynolds number density-stratified turbulent flows in complex geometry. The basic numerical scheme corresponds to a central second-order finite difference method, third-order Runge-Kutta integration for the advective terms and an alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme for the viscous and diffusive terms. Both direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) approaches are considered. The focus is on accurate computation of the internal gravity wave field and turbulence near an underwater obstacle in a model problem where a tide oscillates over the obstacle. Methods to enhance the mass conservation and numerical stability of the solver to simulate high Reynolds number flows are discussed. The solver is validated using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of channel flow with and without stratification, and tidal flow over a laboratory-scale (order of few meters) smoothed triangular ridge. The results including baroclinic energy flux, mean flow properties and turbulent kinetic energy agree reasonably well with our previous results obtained using a body-fitted grid (BFG). The deviation of IBM results from BFG results is found to increase with increasing steepness of the topography relative to the internal wave propagation angle. LES is performed on a large scale ridge, of the order of few kilometers in length, at significantly larger Reynolds number. A non-linear drag law is utilized to parameterize turbulent losses due to bottom friction. The large scale problem exhibits qualitatively similar behavior to the laboratory scale problem with some differences: slightly larger intensification of the boundary flow and somewhat higher nondimensional values for conversion, baroclinic wave flux and turbulent kinetic energy. The phasing of wave breaking and turbulence exhibits little difference between small and large scale obstacles. We conclude that IBM is a viable approach to the simulation of internal waves and turbulence in high Reynolds number stratified flows over topography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate and efficient turbulence simulation in complex geometries is a formidable chal-lenge. Traditional methods are often limited by low accuracy and/or restrictions to simplegeometries. We explore the merger of Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) spatial discretizationswith Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) modeling, termed Local VMS (LVMS), to overcomethese limitations. DG spatial discretizations support arbitrarily high-order accuracy on un-structured grids amenable for complex geometries. Furthermore, high-order, hierarchicalrepresentation within DG provides a natural framework fora prioriscale separation crucialfor VMS implementation. We show that the combined benefits of DG and VMS within theLVMS method leads to promising new approach to LES for use in complex geometries. The efficacy of LVMS for turbulence simulation is assessed by application to fully-developed turbulent channelflow. First, a detailed spatial resolution study is undertakento record the effects of the DG discretization on turbulence statistics. Here, the localhp refinement capabilites of DG are exploited to obtain reliable low-order statistics effi-ciently. Likewise, resolution guidelines for simulating wall-bounded turbulence using DGare established. We also explore the influence of enforcing Dirichlet boundary conditionsindirectly through numericalfluxes in DG which allows the solution to jump (slip) at thechannel walls. These jumps are effective in simulating the influence of the wall commen-surate with the local resolution and this feature of DG is effective in mitigating near-wallresolution requirements. In particular, we show that by locally modifying the numericalviscousflux used at the wall, we are able to regulate the near-wall slip through a penaltythat leads to improved shear-stress predictions. This work, demonstrates the potential ofthe numerical viscousflux to act as a numerically consistent wall-model and this successwarrents future research. As in any high-order numerical method some mechanism is required to control aliasingeffects due to nonlinear interactions and to ensure nonlinear stability of the method. Inthis context, we evaluate the merits of two approaches to de-aliasing -- spectralfilteringand polynomial dealiasing. While both approaches are successful, polynomial-dealiasingis found to be better suited for use in large-eddy simulation. Finally, results using LVMSare reported and show good agreement with reference direct numerical simulation therebydemonstrating the effectiveness of LVMS for wall-bounded turbulence. This success pavesthe way for future applications of LVMS to more complex turbulentflows. 3.

This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an original approach in the research of structural analysis of free developed shear compressible turbulence at high Reynolds number on the base of direct numerical simulation (DNS) and instability evolution for ideal medium (integral conservation laws) with approximate mechanism of dissipation (FLUX dissipative monotone “upwind” difference schemes) and does not use any explicit sub-grid approximation and semi-empirical models of turbulence. Convective mixing is considered as a principal part of conservation law.Appropriate hydrodynamic instabilities (free developed shear turbulence) are investigated from unique point of view. It is based on the concept of large ordered structures with stochastic core of small scale developed turbulence (”turbulent spot”). Decay of “turbulent spot” are simulated by Monte Carlo method. Proposed approach is based on two hypotheses: statistical independence of the characteristic of large ordered structures (LOS) and small-scale turbulence (ST) “and” weak influence of molecular viscosity (or more generally, dissipative mechanism) on properties of large ordered structures.Two versions of instabilities, due to Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov are studied detail by the three-dimensional calculations, extended to the large temporal intervals, up to turbulent stage and investigation turbulent mixing zone (TMZ).The book covers both the fundamental and practical aspects of turbulence and instability and summarizes the result of numerical experiments conducted over 30 years period with direct participation of the author.In the book are cited the opinions of the leading scientists in this area of research: Acad. A S Monin (Russia), Prof. Y Nakamura (Japan, Nagoya University) and Prof. F Harlow (USA, Los-Alamos).
