Turbulent channel flow at Reτ=10000.

ORAL

Abstract

A new simulation of a turbulent channel flow was conducted up to the limit of Re_\tau=10.000. The domain size is 2π×2h×π. This domain is thought to be large enough to accurately compute the one point statistics of the flow. The simulation is carried out on 2048 SuperMUC phase II cores, at a mesh of (6144, 2101, 6144)≈8×10e10 grid points. A database with approximately 75 TB has already been created, which will be analyzed further at a later stage. As it was expected, a long logarithmic layer exists with κ\approx 0.40 and extending from y+≈70 to y+≈2000. The first maximum of the indicator function is not growing anymore and remains constant. A first analysis of the intensities shows that the near wall peaks of u′, w' and p' are still growing with Reynolds number. The possible secondary maximum of u is barely present. New scaling laws of U and u' based on symmetry theory will be also shown.
