The artificial buffer layer and the effects of forcing in hybrid LES/RANS
چکیده انگلیسی

The present study is focused on large eddy simulations (LES) that use a statistical (RANS) turbulence model near solid walls, and on the artificial buffer layer that is formed at the interface between these two modeling regions. Additional forcing is used to trigger resolved motions in the LES region more quickly, and leads to improved results in several ways. The study investigates the artificial buffer layer and how it changes with the use of forcing in an in-depth manner, with the purpose of increased understanding of the increasingly popular hybrid LES/RANS group of methods.The artificial buffer layer is shown to extend from below the modeling interface to well above it, in fact up to 20% of the boundary layer thickness for the cases studied here. The artificial buffer layer is found to be similar to the true buffer layer in many aspects, including a high correlation between the streamwise and wall normal velocity components in the ‘superstreaks’. This indicates that while the superstreaks are highly anisotropic and have unphysical length scales, they still contribute to the resolved shear stress. The forcing does not remove the artificial buffer layer, but it does reduce its extent and increases the resolved shear stress. This increase is mainly associated with increased fluctuations of the wall normal velocity.A simple, low-dimensional forcing model is proposed and tested, with favorable results. The model is simple to implement and easily generalized to more complex geometries.
