Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation of the Turbulent Flow Around Circular Cylinder with Dynamic Hybrid RANS/LES Model

In order to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the dynamic hybrid RANS/LES(DHRL)model,the flow around a cylinder with sinusoidal fluctuating velocity at the inlet was used as the test case.The latest computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model can flexibly choose any existing large-eddy simulation(LES)method combined with RANS method to calculate the flow field.In addition,the DLES model and DDES model are selected as typical representatives of the turbulence model to compare the capture ability of the flow field mechanism.The internal flow field including the y+value,velocity distribution,turbulent kinetic energy and vortex structures is comprehensively analyzed.Finally,the results show that the new model has enough sensitivity to capture the information of the flow field and has more consistent velocity distribution with the experimental value,which shows its potential in practical engineering applications to some extent.

Joint RANS/LES Modeling of Flameless Combustion

We present our timesaving joint RANS/LES approach (we originally developed it for numerical simulations of turbulent premixed combustion) to simulate flameless combustion with separate injection of gas fuel and strong exhaust gas recirculation. It is based on successive RANS/LES numerical modeling where part of the information (stationary average fields) is achieved by RANS simulations and part (instantaneous nonstationary image of the process) by LES. The latter is performed using the RANS field of mean dissipation rate to model the sub-grid turbulent viscosity in the context of the Kolmogorov theory of small-scale turbulence. We analyze flameless combustion in the FLOX? combustor where we also simulate non-premixed flame combustion used for preliminary heating of the combustor. Different regimes take place using different systems of air injection. We applied for both regimes the simple assumption of “mixed is burnt”. The main results are the following: 1) RANS simulations demonstrate for used two injection systems respectively more compact flame and distributed flameless combustion. 2)There is agreement between RANS and corresponding LES results: RANS and averaged LES profiles of the velocity and temperature are in reasonable agreement. 3) LES modeling with Kolmogorov independent on time sub-grid viscosity reproduce instantaneous image of the process including the vortex structures. Probably due to using an annular injector system for air the instantaneous field of the temperature demonstrate significant irregularity in the beginning of the burner, which in an animation looks like moving coherent structures. 4) In the joint RANS/LES approach the computer time of the LES sub-problems is much shorter than classic LES modeling due to using time independent subgrid transport coefficients and avoiding long-continued simulations, which are necessary for averaging of instantaneous LES fields. Practically in our simulations time consuming of the LES sub-problem was only several times lager then the RANS one and it makes this approach suitable for industrial applications.

为了研究RANS/LES(Reynolds-averaged navier-stokes/large eddy simulation)混合方法在桥梁非定常气动力的应用以及大积分尺度湍流中桥梁断面的气动导纳函数,首先选取3种典型的RANS/LES混合方法,即SBES(stress-blended eddy simulation)方法、SAS(scale-adaptive simulation)方法、WMLES(wall-modeled LES)方法,分别对3种方法的特点和适用性进行简要的概述,然后在均匀流中将其用于箱梁断面和分离式双箱梁断面气动力的计算,最后在提出的改进湍流合成方法基础上,实现了与实际桥位处积分尺度类似的大积分尺度湍流模拟,在此流场中识别了箱梁断面的气动导纳函数。数值计算结果表明,SBES方法适用于弱流动不稳定和强流动不稳定流场气动力的模拟,SAS方法仅适用于显著流动分离的断面,而WMLES方法对两种断面整体表现都较差。对于流线型箱梁断面,大积分尺度湍流场中识别的升力气动导纳在低频处大于Sears函数和小尺度湍流场中的结果,并显著大于节段模型风洞试验结果。在高频处大积分尺度湍流场的结果与小尺度湍流场以及风洞试验结果吻合较好。研究结果表明,将传统小尺度格栅湍流场风洞试验识别的气动导纳用于桥梁抖振分析时,会导致低频处的抖振力显著偏小。

某飞机前襟下偏后,气流会穿过前襟和翼盒之间的缝隙,从下翼面流向上翼面从而形成射流,造成封严板的支撑件疲劳破坏。RANS模型在湍流的核心区会得到较大湍流粘性,并将过多的动量变化计入雷诺应力项,得到的载荷波动量过小;而RANS/LES模型,在附面层内求解RANS方程,在分离区进行LES处理,得到的湍流粘性低,适合于动载荷的预测。本文以某飞机的前襟封严板的动载荷计算为例,对上述两种方法进行了对比并得出了结论。

Numerical Investigation on Porous Media Quenching Behaviors of Premixed Deflagrating Flame using RANS/LES Model

To understand the mechanism of premixed flame quenching by porous media,a zonal hybrid RANS/LES model was employed,in which the LES flow solver was used to resolve the large turbulent structures within the non-porous region,while RANS was applied to porous media zone.The predicted results were compared with previous experimental data.And it was evident that the premixed flame propagation rates and structure as well as quenching behaviors were reproduced by this numerical approach with a better accuracy.Due to the inherently higher heat transfer coefficients between the solid and gas phases in porous media,the gas phase temperature has been decreased rapidly.However,upstream obstacles can cause the flame propagating faster and thus reduce the axial gas temperature gradients,resulting in the invalidity of the operation of premixed flame quenching.By comparison with the case without upstream obstacle,the values of reaction rate attained in the case with three pairs of obstacles are higher,which makes a positive impact on the flame passing through the porous medium.In addition,the porous media with greater pore density has an excellent flame quenching property mainly owing to both the larger volumetric heat transfer and higher quenching temperature.

Comparison Between LES and RANS Modeling of Turbulent Swirling Flows and Swirling Diffusion Combustion

Turbulent swirling flows and methane-air swirling diffusion combustion are simulated by both large-eddy simulation (LES) using a Smagorinsky-Lilly subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulence model, a second-order moment (SOM) subgrid-scale combustion model and an eddy break up (EBU) combustion model and Reynolds-averaged NavierStokes (RANS) modeling using the Reynolds stress equation model and a second-order moment (SOM) combustion model. For swirling flows, the LES statistical results give better agreement with the experimental results than the RANS modeling, indicating that the adopted subgrid-scale turbulence model is suitable for swirling flows. For swirling combustion, both the proposed SOM SGS combustion model and the RANS-SOM model give the results in good agreement with the experimental results, but the LES-EBU modeling results are not in agreement with the experimental results.

3-D hybrid LES-RANS model for simulation of open-channel T-diversion flows

The study of flow diversions in open channels plays an important practical role in the design and management of open-channel networks for irrigation or drainage. To accurately predict the mean flow and turbulence characteristics of open-channel dividing flows, a hybrid LES-RANS model, which combines the large eddy simulation （LES） model with the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes （RANS） model, is proposed in the present study. The unsteady RANS model was used to simulate the upstream and downstream regions of a main channel, as well as the downstream region of a branch channel. The LES model was used to simulate the channel diversion region, where turbulent flow characteristics are complicated. Isotropic velocity fluctuations were added at the inflow interface of the LES region to trigger the generation of resolved turbulence. A method based on the virtual body force is proposed to impose Reynolds-averaged velocity fields near the outlet of the LES region in order to take downstream flow effects computed by the RANS model into account and dissipate the excessive turbulent fluctuations. This hybrid approach saves computational effort and makes it easier to properly specify inlet and outlet boundary conditions. Comparison between computational results and experimental data indicates that this relatively new modeling approach can accurately predict open-channel T-diversion flows.

Numerical study on turbulent mixed convection in a vertical plane channel using hybrid RANS/LES and LES models

Two Delayed-Detached Eddy Simulation(DDES) models, and a Large-Eddy Simulation(LES) model are used to investigate the turbulent flows and mixed convection between a hot plate and a cold plate via the software FLUENT. The two DDES models include Production-limited DDES(PL-DDES) and Improved DDES(IDDES) models.The Wall-Adapting Local Eddy-Viscosity(WALE) model is the used LES model. The numerical computations are performed at Reynolds number Reb= 4494 and different Richardson numbers Ri = 0.025, 0.048, 0.1. The comparing data is from the Direct Numerical Simulation(DNS) at Reb= 4494 and Ri = 0.048. The comparison reveals that the two DDES models have better performance in predicting time-averaged parameters than the WALE model in the aiding flow. The best predicted time-averaged results are obtained by the PL-DDES model in the opposing flow. Furthermore, the results of different Ri obtained by the PL-DDES model agree well with the DNS data.

An hybrid RANS/LES model for simulation of complex turbulent flow

A nonqinear eddy viscosity model （NLEVM） and a scalable hybrid Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes/large eddy simula- tion （RANS/LES） strategy are developed to improve the capability of the eddy viscosity model （EVM） to simulate complex flows featuring separations and unsteady motions. To study the performance of the NLEVM, numerical simulations around S809 airfoil are carried out and the results show that the NLEVM performs much better when a large separation occurs. Calculated results of the flow around a triangular cylinder show that the NLEVM can improve the precision of the flow fields to some extents, but the error is still considerable, and the small turbulence structures can not be clearly captured as the EVM. Whereas the scalable hybrid RANS/LES model based on the NLEVM is fairy effective on resolving the turbulent structures and can give more satisfactory predictions of the flow fields.

The main conclusion is that developed joint RANS/LES approch is the efficient timesaving tool for simulations both the average and instantaneous fields of parameters in gas turbine and boiler burners with premixed combustion.
