Abstract In this work, the application of a shear stress transport based-RANS/LES turbulence modelling approach on a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) benchmark is considered after a transient computation of turbulent flow over the configuration on an LES quality mesh is to be performed. Within the unsteady decoupled simulation the scale resolving method successfully produces complex unsteady eddy sizes behind the reference test case. At a subcritical Reynolds number, a numerical Strouhal number of 0.184 which is close to a reference value of 0.18 is demonstrated by the RANS/LES turbulence model. In this scenario, a rubber added on the back part of a fixed circular cylinder is treated as a rigid thin plate during the pure flow simulation. On the LES grid resolution, the shielding function resided in the hybrid limiter of the scale resolving formulation is found to be strong to safeguard the activation of the RANS mode in the near wall region where the demarcation line between the RANS and LES modes uniquely resembles the geometry. Moreover, in the FSI simulation resolved turbulence scales interacting with moving and deforming rubber immersed in the subcritical Reynolds number-turbulent flow are successfully captured by the hybrid modelling technique coupled with a structural solver under the coupling procedure of an implicit partitioned approach. Similar with earlier studies with different scale-resolving proposals on the same FSI case, a periodic oscillating motion of the rubber that is produced from a phase-averaging method is also demonstrated in this present investigation. Nevertheless, a non-physical deformation of the rubber in the spanwise direction occurs. The new FSI result is evaluated with existing results from earlier works as a pivotal basis for further researches, such as implementations of new mesh stiffness model and filter width.

Turbulent Models

Detached turbulent flows are difficult to predict numerically and often serve as benchmark cases for developing new numerical schemes and new turbulent models. Turbulent flow over periodic hills is one such examples, since the flow exhibits separation and reattachment on a smoothly and/or sharp curved geometry, strong pressure gradients and fluctuation of the separation point in time. These cases have been chosen by many authors for testing different turbulence simulation approaches. When the bottom wall is heated, the complexity of the problem increased, since convective heat transfer is defined by small scale turbulent structures close to the wall. We developed a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes and Large Eddy Simulation solver based on the velocity-vorticity formulation of Navier Stokes equations. RANS equations are coupled by a low-Reynolds number turbulent model, while Smagorinsky subgrid model is used for LES. The governing equations are solved with a numerical solution algorithm, which is based on the boundary element method. The pressure field is computed in a post processing step by solving a Poisson equation. The single domain as well as domain decomposition approaches are applied. The developed method was validated using flow over periodic hills test case.

The Difference

Abstract Simulations are carried out for a simplified lifeboat drop test case, which consists of a captive axisymmetric generic lifeboat shape (bullet), that penetrates the water surface at a constant velocity and angle of attack. The quantities of interest are the body fixed longitudinal force FX, vertical force FZ, and pitch moment MYY.This case was previously used in a verification and validation exercise [1]. Here, a step forward in complexity is taken, as the previous numerical model is now supplemented with the eddy-viscosity based turbulence model k–ω SST. Both approaches are then used to simulate two different cases: Case 1 with minimal wake effects; and Case 3 with flow separation and significant wake. The results are compared with the experimental data. The numerical uncertainty is estimated for both models. It is seen that for Case 1 the difference between both models is mostly within the comparison uncertainty, except for the longitudinal force FX, where the turbulent flow predicts a larger force, improving the comparison with the experiments. The loads predicted with turbulent flow stayed mostly within 6 % of the laminar flow. For Case 3 small differences between both models are found during/after the wake collapse stage. However, this difference is often within the comparison uncertainty. A reasonable agreement is found with the experimental data, except for FZ after the bow wake collapse. The turbulent flow improves slightly on the laminar approach regarding the agreement with the experiments, however it can be argued if this difference justifies the increased computational cost of the turbulence model.

A detailed statistical analysis of turbulent flow and heat transfer in eccentric annular duct was performed via direct numerical simulations (DNS) with particular emphasis on the needs of turbulence closure models. A large number of flow characteristics such as components of the Reynolds stress tensor, temperature–velocity correlations and some others were obtained for the first time for such kind of a flow. The results of the paper will serve as a benchmark test case for turbulence modelling, specifically for models intended to be used for flows with partly turbulent regimes.
