We studied the effect of wall boundary conditions on the statistics in a wall-modeled large-eddy simulation (WMLES) of turbulent channel flows. Three different forms of the boundary condition based on the mean stress-balance equations were used to supply the correct mean wall shear stress for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions applicable to WMLES. In addition to the widely used Neumann boundary condition at the wall, we considered a case with a no-slip condition at the wall in which the wall stress was imposed by adjusting the value of the eddy viscosity at the wall. The results showed that the type of boundary condition utilized had an impact on the statistics (e.g., mean velocity profile and turbulence intensities) in the vicinity of the wall, especially at the first off-wall grid point. Augmenting the eddy viscosity at the wall resulted in improved predictions of statistics in the near-wall region, which should allow the use of information from the first off-wall grid point for wall models without additional spatial or temporal filtering. This boundary condition is easy to implement and provides a simple solution to the well-known log-layer mismatch in WMLES.

AbstractCompressible flow past a circular cylinder at an inflow Reynolds number of 2x105is numerically investigated by using a constrained large-eddy simulation (CLES) technique. Numerical simulation with adiabatic wall boundary condition and at a free-stream Mach number of 0.75 is conducted to validate and verify the performance of the present CLES method in predicting separated flows. Some typical and characteristic physical quantities, such as the drag coefficient, the root-mean-square lift fluctuations, the Strouhal number, the pressure and skin friction distributions around the cylinder,etc.are calculated and compared with previously reported experimental data, finer-grid large-eddy simulation (LES) data and those obtained in the present LES and detached-eddy simulation (DES) on coarse grids. It turns out that CLES is superior to DES in predicting such separated flow and that CLES can mimic the intricate shock wave dynamics quite well. Then, the effects of Mach number on the flow patterns and parameters such as the pressure, skin friction and drag coefficients, and the cylinder surface temperature are studied, with Mach number varying from 0.1 to 0.95. Non-monotonic behaviors of the pressure and skin friction distributions are observed with increasing Mach number and the minimum mean separation angle occurs at a subcritical Mach number of between 0.3 and 0.5. Additionally, the wall temperature effects on the thermodynamic and aerodynamic quantities are explored in a series of simulations using isothermal wall boundary conditions at three different wall temperatures. It is found that the flow separates earlier from the cylinder surface with a longer recirculation length in the wake and a higher pressure coefficient at the rear stagnation point for higher wall temperature. Moreover, the influences of different thermal wall boundary conditions on the flow field are gradually magnified from the front stagnation point to the rear stagnation point. Moreover, the influences of different thermal wall boundary conditions on the flow field are graduallymagnified from the front stagnation point to the rear stagnation point. It is inferred that the CLES approach in its current version is a useful and effective tool for simulating wall-bounded compressible turbulent flows with massive separations.

A novel formulation of the wall boundary conditions relying on the asymptotic behaviour of the Taylor microscale λ and its relationship to the homogeneous part of the viscous dissipation rate of the kinetic energy of turbulence εh=5νq2/λ2, applicable to near-wall turbulence, is examined. The linear dependence of λ on the wall distance in close proximity to the solid surface enables the wall-closest grid node to be positioned immediately below the edge of the viscous sublayer, leading to a substantial coarsening of the grid resolution. This approach provides bridging of a major portion of the viscous sublayer, higher grid flexibility and weaker sensitivity against the grid non-uniformities in the near-wall region. The performance of the proposed formulation was checked against available direct numerical simulation databases of complex wall-bounded flows featured by swirl and separation.

A random flow generation (RFG) algorithm for a previously established large eddy simulation (LES) code is successfully incorporated into a finite element fluid flow solver to generate the required inflow/initial turbulence boundary conditions for the three-dimensional (3D) LES computations of viscous incompressible turbulent flow over a nominally two-dimensional (2D) circular cylinder at Reynolds number of 140,000. The effect of generated turbulent inflow boundary conditions on the near wake flow and the shear layer and on the prediction of integral flow parameters is studied based on long time average results. Because the near-wall region cannot be resolved for high Reynolds number flows, no-slip velocity boundary function is used, but wall effects are taken into consideration with a near-wall modeling methodology that comprises the no-slip function with a modified form of van Driest damping approach to reduce the subgrid length scale in the vicinity of the cylinder wall. Simulations are performed for a 2D and a 3D configuration, and the simulation results are compared to each other and to the experimental data for different turbulent inflow boundary conditions with varying degree of inflow turbulence to assess the functionality of the RFG algorithm for the present LES code and, hence, its influence on the vortex shedding mechanism and the resulting flow field predictions.
