TEMTY, a code for large-eddy simulation of a passive scalar in isotropic turbulence, is developed and proved by successful simulation of experiment. The role of each term in the scalar equation and the concept of prefiltering the scalar equation is examined. The ratio of the exponents in the decay of velocity and temperature intensities is found to parametrize with the ratio Λu/Λ0, where Λu, Λ0, are the velocity and temperature Taylor microscales respectively.

Large eddy simulation (LES) in homogeneous isotropic turbulence is performed by using the Finite element method (FEM) and Finite volume vethod (FVM) and the results are compared to show the performance of FEM and FVM numerical solvers. The validation tests are done by using the standard Smagorinsky model (SSM) and dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM) for subgrid-scale modeling. LES is performed on a uniformly distributed 643 grids and the Reynolds number is low enough that the computational grid is capable of resolving all the turbulence scales. The LES results are compared with those from direct numerical simulation (DNS) which is calculated by a spectral method in order to assess its spectral accuracy. It is shown that the performance of FEM results is better than FVM results in this simulation. It is also shown that DSM performs better than SSM for both FEM and FVM simulations and it gives good agreement with DNS results in terms of both spatial spectra and decay of the turbulence statistics. Visualization of second invariant, Q, in LES data for both FEM and FVM reveals the existence of distinct, coherent, and tube-like vortical structures somewhat similar to those found in instantaneous flow field computed by the DNS. Keywords: Large eddy simulation; Validation; Smagorinsky model; Dynamic Smagorinsky model; Tube-like vortical structure; Homogeneous isotropic turbulence. © 2010 JSR Publications.

Implicit Large Eddy Simulation

Abstract Accurate predictions with quantifiable uncertainties are essential to many practical turbulent flow applications exhibiting extreme geometrical complexity and broad ranges of length and time scales. Under-resolved computer simulations are typically unavoidable in such applications, and implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) often becomes the effective strategy. We focus on ILES initialized with well-characterized 2563 homogeneous isotropic turbulence datasets generated with direct numerical simulation (DNS). ILES is based on the LANL xRAGE code, and solutions are examined as function of resolution for 643, 1283, 2563, and 5123 grids. The ILES performance of new directionally-unsplit high-order numerical hydrodynamics algorithms in xRAGE is examined. Compared to the initial 2563 DNS, we find longer inertial subranges and higher turbulence Re for directional-split 2563 & 5123 xRAGE — attributed to having linked DNS (Navier-Stokes based) solutions to nominally inviscid (higher Re) Euler based ILES solutions. Alternatively — for fixed resolution, we find that significantly higher simulated turbulence Re can be achieved with unsplit (vs. split) discretizations.
