We describe a series of computational experiments that employ nonoscillatory finite volume methods to simulate the decay of high Reynolds number turbulence. These experiments cover a broad range of physical viscosities and numerical resolutions. We have extracted a data set from these experiments detailing the energy dissipation by physical viscosity and by the numerical algorithm. We offer a preliminary analysis of this data, including new insights into the (computational) transition between direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation.

Precise Prediction

The velocity field in the area behind the automotive vent was measured by hot-wire anenemometry in detail and intensity of turbulence was calculated. Numerical simulation of the same flow field was performed using Computational fluid dynamics in commecial software STAR-CCM+. Several turbulence models were tested and compared with Large Eddy Simulation. The influence of turbulence model on the results of air flow from the vent was investigated. The comparison of simulations and experimental results showed that most precise prediction of flow field was provided by Spalart-Allmaras model. Large eddy simulation did not provide results in quality that would compensate for the increased computing cost.

Near Wall

This paper addresses the error in large-eddy simulation with wall-modeling (i.e., when the wall shear stress is modeled and the viscous near-wall layer is not resolved): the error in estimating the wall shear stress from a given outer-layer velocity field using auxiliary near-wall RANS equations where convection is not neglected. By considering the behavior of turbulence length scales near a wall, the cause of the errors is diagnosed and solutions that remove the errors are proposed based solidly on physical reasoning. The resulting method is shown to accurately predict equilibrium boundary layers at very high Reynolds number, with both realistic instantaneous fields (without overly elongated unphysical near-wall structures) and accurate statistics (both skin friction and turbulence quantities).
