Abstract Unsteady turbulent wall bounded flows can produce complex flow physics including temporally varying mean pressure gradients, intermittent regions of high turbulence intensity, and interaction of different scales of motion. As a representative example, pulsating channel flow presents significant challenges for newly developed and existing turbulence models in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The present study investigates the performance of the Dynamic Hybrid RANS-LES (DHRL) model with a newly proposed dynamic time filtering (DTF) technique, compared against an industry standard Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model, Monotonically Integrated Large Eddy Simulation (MILES), and two conventional Hybrid RANS-LES (HRL) models. Model performance is evaluated based on comparison to previously documented Large Eddy Simulation (LES) results. Simulations are performed for a fully developed flow in a channel with time-periodic driving pressure gradient. Results highlight the relative merits of each model type and indicate that the use of a dynamic time filtering technique improves the accuracy of the DHRL model when compared to a static time filtering technique. A comprehensive evaluation of the results suggests that the DHRL-DTF method provides the most consistently accurate reproduction of the time-dependent mean flow characteristics for all models investigated.

The application of a dynamic global-coefficient subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model for large-eddy simulation in complex geometries is presented. The model employs a dynamic procedure for closure of the subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model developed by Vreman [Phys. Fluids 16, 3670 (2004)]. The model coefficient which is globally constant in space but varies in time is dynamically determined assuming the “global equilibrium” between the subgrid-scale dissipation and the viscous dissipation of which utilization was proposed by Park et al. [Phys. Fluids 18, 125109 (2006)]. Like the Vreman’s model with a fixed coefficient and the dynamic-coefficient model of Park et al., the present model predicts zero eddy-viscosity in regions where the vanishing eddy viscosity is theoretically expected. The present dynamic model is especially suitable for large-eddy simulation in complex geometries since it does not require any ad hoc spatial and temporal averaging or clipping of the model coefficient for numerical stabilization and requires only a single-level test filter.

This paper reviews and presents new results on the effect of airframe integration and shielding on jet noise. Available experimental data on integration effects are analyzed. The available options for the computation of jet noise are discussed, and a practical numerical approach for the present topic is recommended. Here, it is demonstrated how a hybrid large eddy simulation—unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach can be implemented to simulate the effect of shielding on radiated jet noise. This approach provides results consistent with the experiment and suggests a framework for studying more complex geometries involving airframe integration effects.
