The world’s largest class unsteady turbulence simulations of flow around vehicles were conducted using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) on the Earth Simulator in Japan. The main objective of our study is to investigate the validity of LES, as an alternative to a conventional wind tunnel measurement or the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes method, for the assessment of vehicle aerodynamics.

<p>The development of the separated bottom boundary layer (BBL) in the footprint of a large-amplitude ISW of depression is examined using high-accuracy/resolution implicit Large Eddy Simulation. The talk will focus on a single relatively idealized case of a large-amplitude ISW propagating against an oncoming barotropic current with its own, initially laminar, BBL under the inevitable restriction of laboratory-scale Reynolds number. Significant discussion will be dedicated to the non-trivial computational cost of setting up and conducting the above simulation, within long domains and over long-integration times, in a high-performance-computing environment. Results will focus on documenting the full downstream evolution of the structure of the separated BBL development. Particular emphasis will be placed on the existence of a three-dimensional global instability mode, at the core of the separation bubble where typically one might assume two-dimensional dynamics. The particular instability mode is spontaneously excited and is considered responsible for the self-sustained nature of the resulting near-bed turbulent wake in the lee of the ISW. Fundamental mean BBL flow metrics will then be presented along with a short discussion for potential for particulate resuspension. The talk will close with a discussion of the relevance of the existing flow configuration to both the laboratory and ocean, in light of recent measurements in the NW Australian Shelf.<br><br></p>

The context of integrated numerical simulations of gas turbine engines by use of high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) tools recently emerged as a promising path to improve engines design and understanding. Relying on massively parallel super-computing such propositions still have to prove feasibility to efficiently take advantage of the ever increasing computing power made available worldwide. Although Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has recently proven its superiority in the context of the combustion chamber of gas turbine, methodologies need to be developed and start addressing the problem of the turbomachinery stages, if integrated simulations based on LES are to be foreseen. In the proposed work an in-house code and strategy, called TurboAVBP, is developed for turbomachinery LES thanks to the coupling of multi-copies of the unstructured compressible reacting LES solver AVBP, designed to run efficiently on high performance massively parallel architectures. Aside from the specificity of such wall bounded flows, rotor/stator LES type simulations require specific attention and the interface should not interfere with the numeric scheme to preserve proper representation of the unsteady physics crossing this interface. A tentative LES compliant solution based on moving overset grids method is proposed and evaluated in this work for high-fidelity simulation of the rotor/stator interactions. Simple test cases of increasing difficulty with reference numerical are detailed and prove the solution in handling acoustics, vortices and turbulence. The approach is then applied to the QinetiQ MT1 high-pressure transonic turbine for comparison with experimental data. Two configurations are computed: the first one is composed of 1 scaled stator section and 2 rotors while the second computation considers the geometrically accurate periodic quarter of the machine, i.e. 8 stators and 15 rotors to test scalability issues of such applications. Although under-resolved, the LES pressure profiles on the stator and rotor blades appear to be in good agreement with experimental data and are quite competitive compared to the traditional (Unsteady) Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS or URANS) modeling approach. Unsteady features inherently present in these LES underline the complexity of the flow in a turbine stage and clearly demand additional diagnostics to be properly validated.
