Calculation of isotropic turbulence using a pure Lagrangian vortex method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vortex method is applied to the calculation of a decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence of Reλ = 25, 50 and the results are compared with a spectral method calculation. Vortex method calculations were accelerated by the use of a fast multipole method for periodic boundary conditions. The core spreading method and particle strength exchange were selected as the viscous diffusion scheme. The effect of spatial resolution was examined along with Reynolds number dependence and the effect of spatial adaption of elements.

FMM-based vortex method for simulation of isotropic turbulence on GPUs, compared with a spectral method
The Lagrangian vortex method offers an alternative numerical approach for direct numerical simulation of turbulence. The fact that it uses the fast multipole method (FMM)—a hierarchical algorithm for N-body problems with highly scalable parallel implementations—as numerical engine makes it a potentially good candidate for exascale systems. However, there have been few validation studies of Lagr...
متن کاملMulti-scale geometric analysis of Lagrangian structures in isotropic turbulence
We report the multi-scale geometric analysis of Lagrangian structures in forced isotropic turbulence and also with a frozen turbulent field. A particle backwardtracking method, which is stable and topology preserving, was applied to obtain the Lagrangian scalar field φ governed by the pure advection equation in the Eulerian form ∂tφ + u · ∇φ=0. The temporal evolution of Lagrangian structures wa...

In this research we have implemented the Random Vortex Method to calculate velocity fields of fluids inside open cavities in both turbulent and laminar flows. the Random Vortex Method is a CFD method (in both turbulent and laminar fields) which needs the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation formula to map the physical geometry into the upper half plane. In some complex geometries like the flow in...

In this paper, using vortex blob method (VBM), turbulent flow in a channel is studied and physical concepts of turbulence are obtained and discussed. At first, time-averaged velocities, and , and then their fluctuations are calculated. To clarify turbulence structures, velocity fluctuations and are plotted. It is observed that turbulence structures occupy different positions and move with con...
