Efficient treatment of complex geometries for large eddy simulations of turbulent flows
(2004)
Incompressible turbulent flow over a backward facing step at Reh=5100 is investigated by large eddy simulations (LES). The ratio of the oncoming boundary layer thickness δ to the step height h was set to 1.2. Additionally ...
Structure-based turbulence modeling for wall-bounded flows
(2000)
The performance of Reynolds stress transport (RST) models in non-equilibrium flows is limited by the lack of information about two dynamically important effects: The role of energy-containing turbulence structure ...
The transport of a passive scalar in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation
(2007)
We consider the transport of a passive scalar under the influence of homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. The ...
Statistical measures of structural anisotropy in MHD turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation
(2006)
We consider homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. We take both the frame-rotation axis and the applied magnetic ...
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at moderate magnetic Reynolds number
(2004)
We consider the case of homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field at low to moderate magnetic Reynolds numbers (by moderate we mean here values as high as 20). When ...
Representing anisotropy of two-point second-order turbulence velocity correlations using structure tensors
(2008)
A locally homogeneous representation for the two-point, second-order turbulent velocity fluctuation Rij(x,r) = 〈u′i(x)u′i(x+r)〉 is formulated in terms of three linearly independent structure tensors [Kassinos et al., J. ...
Flow development in compression of a finite amount of a Bingham plastic
(2007)
The flow and shape evolution during the compression of a finite amount of a Bingham plastic is investigated by means of numerical simulations. The problem relates to the popular compression test used for the rheological ...
Large-eddy simulations of unidirectional water flow over dunes
(2009)
The unidirectional, subcritical flow over fixed dunes is studied numerically using large-eddy simulation, while the immersed boundary method is implemented to incorporate the bed geometry. Results are presented for a typical ...
A simplified structure-based model using standard turbulence scale equations: computation of rotating wall-bounded flows
(2006)
Two linear eddy-viscosity models, the v2-f and k-ω models, have been combined with an algebraic structure-based algorithm for the evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. This closure was originally designed as an integral ...
