DNS and LES of Scalar Transport in a Turbulent Plane Channel Flow at Low Reynolds Number
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper reports on DNS and LES of plane channel flow at Reτ = 180 and compares these to a DNS with a higher order convection scheme. For LES different subgrid-scale models like the Smagorinsky, the Dynamic Smagorinsky and the Dynamic Mixed Model were used with the grid being locally refined in the near-wall region. The mixing of a passive scalar has been simulated with two convection schemes, central differencing and HLPA. The latter exhibits numerical diffusion and the results with the central scheme are clearly superior. LES with this scheme reproduced the budget of the scalar variance equation reasonably well.

The paper evaluates a new method to prescribe synthesized turbulent inlet boundary conditions. The method can also be used when prescribing turbulent fluctuations at an interface between (U)RANS and LES regions when the flow enters the LES region. When making LES, DES or hybrid LES-RANS a precursor channel DNS is often used. The disadvantage of this method is that it is difficult to re-scale th...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Turbulent Subsonic Compressible Flow through Rectangular Microchannel
In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...
