The objective of this study is to investigate flow separation in a channel with periodic hill-shaped constrictions using the Partially-averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) methodology. Flow Reynolds numbers based on the bulk velocity above the crest of the hill and hill height are 10590 and 37000. Several PANS simulations are performed to study the effect of cut-off length scale and grid resolution. Turbulence statistics such as mean velocity and Reynolds stresses are compared against well documented experimental data and numerical results. Instantaneous and averaged flow structures as well as anisotropy-invariant maps are also presented in this paper. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Characteristics of turbulent boundary layers generated by different tripping devices

Navid Freidoonimehr, Azadeh Jafari, Maziar Arjomandi

Summary: In this study, a high-fidelity flow visualisation technique is used to investigate the resemblance between a turbulent boundary layer generated by different tripping devices in a lab environment and a naturally developed canonical turbulent boundary layer. The study finds that the blockage created by trips is the main factor affecting the turbulence statistics at a certain downstream distance.

Towards optimal 6-variational autoencoders combined with transformers for reduced-order of turbulent flows

Yuning Wang, Alberto Solera-Rico, Carlos Sanmiguel Vila, Ricardo Vinuesa

Summary: This study proposes a method that combines 6-VAEs for modal decomposition and transformer neural networks for temporal-dynamics prediction in the latent space to develop reduced-order models (ROMs) for turbulent flows. The method achieves high reconstruction accuracy and accurate prediction of temporal dynamics.

Assessment of Reynolds number effects in supersonic turbulent boundary layers

L. Laguarda, S. Hickel, F. F. J. Schrijer, B. W. van Oudheusden

Summary: Wall-resolved large-eddy simulations were used to investigate the Reynolds number effects in supersonic turbulent boundary layers at Mach 2.0. The study covered a wide range of friction Reynolds numbers and identified trends in various statistics and scaling laws. The size and topology of turbulent structures in the boundary layer were examined, with a focus on the outer-layer motions at high Reynolds numbers. The study also assessed the influence of outer-layer structures on near-wall turbulence and the sensitivity of uniform momentum regions to compressibility.

Influence of wall shear stress on the secondary flow in square ducts

A. Doehring, T. Kaller, S. J. Schmidt, N. A. Adams

Summary: In this study, well-resolved large-eddy simulations were used to investigate turbulent duct flows with a square cross section. The influence of a modified wall shear stress on the secondary flow was analyzed by artificially modifying the wall shear stress at one of the four walls. The results showed that the modification led to an asymmetrical distribution of the secondary flow source terms, affecting the momentum distribution. Furthermore, the anisotropy of the Reynolds stress tensor, which induces the secondary flow vortices, was significantly affected by the wall shear stress modulation.
