OVERVIEW
  • How to solve turbulent flow problems?
  • Review of Reynolds averaging and the need for
    turbulence models
  • Transport equations of the Reynolds stresses
  • Is turbulence isotropic?
  • Introduction of the anisotropy invariant map
  • Introduction of two-point correlation technique
  • Model formulation of anisotropy invariant
    turbulence model

HOW TO SOLVE THE BASIC EQUATIONS IN TURBULENT
FLOWS
  • DNS Direct Numerical Simulation
  • Solves the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations
    directly.
  • RANS Model (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes
    Model)
  • Motivation Engineers are normally interested in
    knowing just a few quantitative properties of a
    turbulent flow.
  • Method Using Reynolds-Averaged form of the
    Navier-Stokes equations with appropriate
    turbulence models.
  • LES Large Eddy Simulation
  • MotivationThe large scale motions are generally
    much more energetic than the small scales, and
    they are the most effective transporters of the
    conserved properties.
  • Method Large Scales -gt Solve, Small Scales

CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK
  • Reynolds stress models provide more accurate
    predictions than eddy viscosity models but need
    more computational time
  • In Reynolds stress models anisotropy
    considerations can be taken into account
  • AIRSM - Anisotropy Invariant Reynolds Stress
    Model is based on nearly no empirical input
  • AIRSM shows good prediction quality and can be
    improved systematically
  • Computer power is constantly increasing so that
    direct numerical simulations (DNS) can be
    increasingly used for engineering predictions
