Abstract
The flow past a wall-mounted hemisphere is chosen as test case. The bluff body is exposed to a thick turbulent boundary layer at Re = 50,000. The generation of the turbulent velocity fluctuations in the present investigation relies on the digital filter concept, but the injection techniques evaluated are not restricted to this inflow generator. The synthetic turbulent velocity fluctuations are injected about one diameter upstream of the hemisphere. Wall-resolved large-eddy simulations are carried out for two grid resolutions and the corresponding results are analyzed and compared with the reference measurements by Wood et al. (2016). Finally, one injection technique is found to be clearly superior to the other, since it guarantees the correct level of the velocity fluctuations and the reproduction of the autocorrelations.
