LES of incompressible heat and fluid flows past a square cylinder at high Reynolds numbers

This paper presents large eddy simulation (LES) results of incompressible heat and fluid flows around a square cylinder (SC) at zero incident angle at high Reynolds numbers (Re) in the range from 1.25×10⁵ to 3.5×10⁵. LES results are obtained on the basis of swirling strength based sub-grid model, and a higher order upwind scheme developed with respect to the Taylor expansion. It was found that, for the zero incident SC wake flows at a Reynolds number in the range {Re₅ = Re/10⁵ ∈ [1.25, 3.5]}, the Strouhal number equals to 0.1079, completely independent of the Reynolds number; the coefficient of drag is around 1.835 with an uncertainty of about 1.9%, almost non-sensitive to the Re. When Re is beyond 3.0×10⁵, the time-averaged peak value of sub-grid viscosity is over 340, implying that the role of sub-grid model is crucial in some regions where vortex motion is active and vortex interaction is intense. The time–spanwise (t-z) averaged sub-grid viscosity ratio profiles and the profiles of fluctuations of the sub-grid viscosity ratio and velocity components at four locations downstream of the SC are presented. The fields of the t-z averaged sub-grid viscosity ratio, and the instantaneous fields of streamwise and spanwise vorticities are also reported and discussed. The predicted mean Nusselt number is compared with empirical correlations, revealing that swirling strength based LES has its potential in predicting natural and industrial flows.     

The method of dynamic mode decomposition in shallow water and a swirling flow problem

In this paper, a new vector‐filtering criterion for dynamic modes selection is proposed that is able to extract dynamically relevant flow features from dynamic mode decomposition of time‐resolved experimental or numerical data. We employ a novel modes selection criterion in parallel with the classic selection based on modes amplitudes, in order to analyze which of these procedures better highlight the coherent structures of the flow dynamics. Numerical tests are performed on two distinct problems. The efficiency of the proposed criterion is proved in retaining the most influential modes and reducing the size of the dynamic mode decomposition model. By applying the proposed filtering mode technique, the flow reconstruction error is shown to be significantly reduced. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Computation of strongly swirling confined flows with cubic eddy‐viscosity turbulence models

An investigation on the predictive performance of four cubic eddy‐viscosity turbulence models for two strongly swirling confined flows is presented. Comparisons of the prediction with the experiments show clearly the superiority of cubic models over the linear k–εmodel. The linear k–εmodel does not contain any mechanism to describe the stabilizing effects of swirling motion and as a consequence it performs poorly. Cubic models return a lower level of Reynolds stresses and the combined forced‐free vortex profiles of tangential velocity close to the measurements in response to the interaction between swirl‐induced curvature and stresses. However, a fully developed rotating pipe flow is too simple to contain enough flow physics, so the calibration of cubic terms is still a topic of investigation. It is shown that explicit algebraic stress models require fewer calibrations and contain more flow physics. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cubic eddy‐viscosity turbulence models for strongly swirling confined flows with variable density

An investigation on the predictive performance of cubic eddy‐viscosity turbulence models for strongly swirling confined flows with variable density is presented. Comparisons of the prediction with the experiments show some improvements of cubic models over the linear k–ε model. The linear k–ε model does not contain any mechanism to represent the interaction of swirl and density variation and as a consequence it performs poorly. With appropriate modelling, two‐equation cubic turbulence models can capture the subcritical nature of the flow, represent the azimuthal velocity profiles of combined forced‐free vortex motion, and predict the combined effects of swirl and density variation fairly well. However, the calibration of model coefficients is still a topic of investigation. Further amendments are also needed for the equations of k and ε to take into account the effects of swirl and density gradients correctly. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Computation of recirculating swirling flow with the GLM Reynolds stress closure

A Reynolds stress closure based on the generalized Langevin model (GLM), developed by Haworth and Pope^[3,4], is applied to the flow calculation with swirl-induced recirculation. The purpose of the work is to assess the performance of this model under the complex flow conditions caused by the presence of strong swirl which gives rise to both unconventional recirculation in the vicinity of the symmetry axis and strong anisotropy in the turbulence field. Comparison of the computational results are made both with the experimental data of Roback and Johnson^[11] and the computational results obtained with the typical isotropization of production model (IPM) and thek-ε type Boussinesq viscosity model.
