Projects

Turbulence - P. Benard, CORIA & G. Balarac, LEGI

• Sub-project 1: Explore hybrid RANS/LES strategies (T. Berthelon, G. Balarac)

For complex industrial applications, LES can still lead to a too long restitution time. In other hand, statistical approaches can lead too a lack of accuracy. In this project, the potentiality of hybrid approaches combining both have been explored. Conventional hybrid RA?S/LES approaches consider a unique solution field, with an unique transport equation and a clusre terme modeled using RANS or LES models depending of the regions. The main idea is to evaluate a strategy based on a separation between mean fields and fluctuations with distinct coupled transport equations. First elements of validation using YALES2 code are shown that it was possible to correct the prediction of a RANS models, by performing LES of the fluctuations. Next steps should be to consider disctinct meshes, or even computational domains for RANS and LES with this strategy.

• Sub-project 2: Flow Instabilities over Rotating curved Surfaces (S. Sawaf, M. Shadloo, A. Hadjadj, S. Moreau, S. Poncet)

• Sub-project 3: Automatic statistical convergence metric (C. Papagiannis, G. Balarac, O. Le Maitre, P. Congedo)

• Sub-project 4: Wall law for Immersed Boundaries & Rough surfaces (M. Cailler, A. Cuffaro, P. Benez, S. Meynet)

Conservative Lagrangian Immersed Boundaries (CLIB) are now an useful way to take into account complex geometries in YALES2. During the workshop, a brand-new data-structure for modular and generic immersed-body has been developed. This data-structure paves the way for various new capabilities for IB methods: penalization mask shape optimization for improved velocity imposition, better control of near wall discretization based on a reliable evaluation of wall units, wall-modeling, etc... For this purposes the periodic hill test case has been considered. The configuration has been considered by using body-fitted meshes, and CLIB for both smooth and rough surfaces. This will allow to assess the accuracy of the IB methods, and will constitute a database for IB models improvement, and the development of wall-modeling strategies.
