Abstract
Large-eddy simulations of supersonic nozzle and diffuser flows with circular cross-sections using high-order compact schemes and an explicit filtering version of the approximate deconvolution method are presented in this paper. Two flow cases each for nozzle and diffuser having different outlet to inlet area ratios are presented. The effect of the geometry variations on the Reynolds stresses as well as on the production and pressure-strain terms in their transport equations is demonstrated. A Green's function analysis of the Poisson equation for pressure fluctuations using LES data is presented and the results show similar trends as found in previous analyses using DNS data. The effects of geometry changes on the rapid and slow parts of pressure-strain correlations is also demonstrated.
