Building-block-flow model for large-eddy simulation

ORAL

Abstract

A unified subgrid-scale+wall model for large-eddy simulation is proposed by devising the flow as a collection of building blocks flows. The information from the building blocks enables the prediction of the eddy viscosity. The building blocks are simple canonical flows based on the turbulent Poiseuille-Couette configuration at different flow regimes. The model is constructed to predict wall-attached turbulence, adverse pressure gradient effects, separation, statistically unsteady turbulence, and laminar flow. The approach is particularly designed for coarse grids by accounting for numerical errors.
