the steger and warming flux vector splitting implicit scheme is used to numerically solve two dimensional reynolds averaged navier–stokes (rans) equations governing the vortex induced vibration of a flexible riser laterally supported by a spring and a damper. the k–ε model is used as turbulence model to simulate the turbulent flow in the wake of the riser. to update the new position of the rise...

Two axisymmetric shock-wave / boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI) cases are used to benchmark oneand two-equation Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. This validation exercise was executed in the philosophy of the NASA Turbulence Modeling Resource and the AIAA Turbulence Model Benchmarking Working Group. Both SWBLI cases are from the experiments of Kussoy and Horstman for ax...

We report further progress in the development of agglomerated multigrid techniques for fully unstructured grids in three dimensions. Following the previous studies that identified key elements to grid-independent multigrid convergence for a model equation, and that demonstrated impressive speed-up in single-processor computations for a model diffusion equation, inviscid flows, and Reynolds-aver...

Flow characteristics are presented of simulation results of plane impinging jets at high nozzle-plate distances, with two k-ω based hybrid RANS/LES (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes/Large–Eddy Simulation) models and a k-ω RANS model. The first hybrid RANS/LES model is obtained by substitution of the turbulent length scale by the local grid size in the destruction term of the turbulent kinetic en...

Stochastic sound sources derived from Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution are recognized in Computational Aeroacoustics as one possible way to efficiently predict broadband sound. In this paper a stochastically forced linear advection-diffusiondissipation equation is introduced. The model provides spectra and anisotropic two-point correlations that otherwise have to be incorporated ...

The present paper proposes a combination of the Baldwin Lomax and Smagorinsky turbulence models in order to compensate the de ciencies each one of these simple models exhibits. The proposed combination, named BLS, uses the turbulent viscosity of the Baldwin Lomax in the vicinity of walls, and a blend of Baldwin Lomax and Smagorinsky viscosity from the end of the inner layer (Baldwin Lomax) into...

Full-scale experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were used to investigate buoyancy-driven single-sided natural ventilation with large openings. Detailed airflow characteristics inside and outside of the room and the ventilation rate were measured. The experimental data were used to validate two CFD models: Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation (RANS) modeling and large ...

An adaptive method for high-order discretizations of the Reynolds-averaged NavierStokes (RANS) equations is examined. The RANS equations and Spalart-Allmaras (SA) turbulence model are discretized with a dual consistent, discontinuous Galerkin discretization. To avoid oscillations in the solution in under-resolved regions, particularly the edge of the boundary layer, artificial dissipation is ad...

This paper presents computational results for two DES (Detached Eddy Simulation), one hybrid RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes)/ LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and some preliminary results from PANS (Partially Averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence for simulation of unsteady separated turbulent flows. The models are implemented in a full 3-D Navier Stokes solver and are based on the twoequation k-...

In this work a robust discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver for turbulent high-lift aerodynamic flows using the turbulence model of Spalart and Allmaras (SA) is developed. The application of DG discretizations to turbulent RANS flows is one of the most pressing issues facing high-order methods on unstructured grids. The issue is the result of non-smooth behavior of the turbulence model equation, w...
