It is found that the existence of the grooves leads to the enhancement of the turbulent kinetic energy close to the wall and the abatement thereof above the buffer layer. The density and temperature fluctuations are also enhanced, but only within the buffer layer, above which the influences of the grooves can be disregarded. The pressure fluctuations, however, are significantly increased, which is attributed to the radiated acoustic waves from the wall generated by the disturbances on the wall. Such inference is substantiated by the fact that the inclination angles of the phase averaged pressure are related to the Mach number. Nevertheless, the acoustic and dynamic processes seem to be decoupled, leading to insignificant pressure-dilatation terms in the transport of turbulent kinetic energy.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47228864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, among the scale resolving numerical methods, Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) has become a valuable tool for the simulation of complex unsteady flows. To generalise the industrial use of LES, two main limitations are identified. First, the generation of a proper mesh can be a difficult task, which often relies on user-experience. Secondly, the ‘time-to-solution’ associated with the LES approach can be prohibitive in an industrial context. In this work, these two challenges are addressed in two parts. In this Part I, an automatic procedure for mesh definition is proposed, whereas the Part II is devoted to numerical technique to reduce the LES ‘time-to-solution’. The main goal of these works is then to develop an accurate LES strategy at an optimised computational cost. Concerning the mesh definition, because LES is based on separation between resolved and modelled subgrid-scales, the quality of the computed solution is then directly linked to the quality of the mesh. However, the definition of an adequate mesh is still an issue when LES is used to predict the flow in an industrial complex geometry without a priori knowledge of the flow dynamics. This first part presents a user-independent approach for both the generation of an initial mesh and the convergence of the mesh in the LES framework. An automatic mesh convergence strategy is proposed to ensure LES accuracy. This strategy is built to guarantee a mesh-independent mean field kinetic energy budget. The mean field kinetic energy is indeed expected to be mesh independent since only turbulent scales should be unresolved in LES. The approach is validated on canonical cases, a turbulent round jet and a turbulent pipe flow. Finally, the PRECCINSTA swirl burner is considered as a representative case of complex geometry. First, an algorithm for the generation of an unstructured mesh from a STL file is proposed to generate a coarse initial mesh, before applying the mesh convergence procedure. The overall strategy including automatic first mesh generation and its automatic adaptation paves the way to use LES approach as a decision support tool for various applications, provided that the ‘time-to-solution’ is compatible with the applications constraint. A second paper, referred as Part II, is devoted to the reduction of this time.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47469437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lamballais","doi":"10.1080/14685248.2023.2215530","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14685248.2023.2215530","url":null,"abstract":"The development of implicit approaches has prompted debate on the actual usefulness of any explicit subgrid-scale modelling in large-eddy simulation. This question is addressed here by considering two generic turbulent flows: (i) the Taylor-Green vortex problem; (ii) the pipe flow. For both flow configurations, implicit modelling is found to overtake the very popular Smagorinsky model. To understand this robust observation, an analysis in the Fourier space is presented for the Taylor-Green vortex problem. The concept of spectral eddy viscosity, widely used in the pioneer work of Marcel Lesieur in two-point closure and subgrid-scale modelling, is revisited in a general framework based on explicit/implicit subgrid-scale modelling. In particular, the essentially anisotropic nature of implicit modelling is exhibited, as a favourable feature in terms of consistency with the computational mesh. Smagorinsky's model, considered as a generic explicit subgrid-scale model in the framework of Boussinesq's hypothesis, is found to be highly sensitive to numerical errors. Removing the latter is easy but makes computationally inefficient this type of explicit modelling. Comparisons between a priori and a posteriori spectral eddy viscosities show that neither Smagorinsky's model nor implicit modelling can mimic the expected spectral behaviour. Smagorinsky's model is observed to be weakly scale-selective with a poor ability to actually filter the solution. The feature of scale-selectivity is well replicated by implicit modelling which exhibits excellent capabilities for filtering. However, its lack of influence at the largest scales is against the expected behaviour for the spectral eddy viscosity at low wavenumber through the establishment of a non-zero plateau value. This lack of consistency of implicit LES could be overcome thanks to an extra explicit modelling but the attempt to mix Smagorinsky's model and implicit LES is not successful in this study. The potential of implicit large-eddy simulation is also exhibited for the accurate computation of near-wall turbulence inside a pipe flow despite the use of a regular Cartesian mesh with an immersed boundary method. Interestingly, the resulting coarse wall-normal resolution in the near-wall direction does not prevent the reliable prediction of statistical profiles up to the capture of subgrid-scale details. It is suggested that the regularisation associated with implicit modelling is a necessary condition to reach numerical accuracy. However, to faithfully represent the large-scale dynamics, present results confirm that non-local triad interactions must be taken into account as widely discussed in the inspiring textbook Lesieur [Turbulence in fluids. 4th ed. Springer; 2008] of Marcel Lesieur.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43773875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetic field distribution is obtained by an arrangement of magnets placed on the upper and lower channel walls, producing preferentially either a streamwise (i.e. in the main flow direction) or a spanwise magnetic field component. The wall shear stress is drastically reduced under the effect of the streamwise arrangement of the wall magnets wherein both streamwise and wall-normal magnetic fields are involved. The magnetic braking effect leads to an important increase of the body force. Paradoxically enough, the small-scale turbulent activity is significantly increased above the low buffer layer in this case. On the opposite, imposing a magnetic field with a predominant spanwise component reduces tremendously the population of the turbulent shear stress producing eddies by directly affecting the regeneration of the buffer layer quasi-streamwise vortices. The flow is quasi-relaminarised between the magnets in the low-buffer and viscous sublayers. The wall shear increases in a predictable and deterministic way over the magnets, wherein the wall normal magnetic field component induces electric current loops.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44344877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In statistically steady turbulence, the average dissipation is in equilibrium with the energy injected in the system. A global quantity measuring the deviations from such a flux equilibrium is the normalised dissipation rate , corresponding to the viscous dissipation, normalised by quantities associated with the largest scales of the system. Recent investigations have pointed out how this normalised dissipation rate varies in unsteady flows. We focus on two test-cases to assess non-equilibrium in isotropic turbulence. These cases are, respectively, turbulence in the presence of a large-scale periodic forcing and turbulence with reversed initial conditions. We show, using the Eddy-Damped Quasi-Normal Markovian closure, that for turbulence in the presence of periodic forcing, a scaling is reproduced ( indicating the Taylor-scale Reynolds number) when the forcing-frequency is adjusted to be of the order of the inverse of the integral time-scale. It is shown that the spectrum can be decomposed into an equilibrium spectrum, governed by Kolmogorov scaling in the inertial range, and a perturbation spectrum, proportional to , k being the wavenumber. For reversed turbulence, a novel procedure is introduced to prescribe initial conditions for the nonlinear transfer. Subsequently a clear transient with a scaling is observed in the dynamics.","PeriodicalId":49967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Turbulence","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44292892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
