Accuracy and reliability of large-eddy simulation data in a really complex industrial geometry are invesigated. An original methodology based on a response surface for LES data is introduced. This surrogate model for the full LES problem is built using the Kriging technique, which enables a low-cost optimal linear interpolation of a restricted set of large-eddy simulation (LES) solutions. Therefore, it can be used in most realistic industrial applications. Using this surrogate model, it is shown that (i) optimal sets of simulation parameters (subgrid model constant and artificial viscosity parameter in the present case) can be found; (ii) optimal values, as expected, depend on the cost functional to be minimized. Here, a realistic approach, which takes into account experimental data sparseness, is introduced. It is observed that minimization of the error evaluated using a too small subset of reference data may yield a global deterioration of the results.

With the increase in computing power, large eddy simulation (LES) emerges as a promising technique to improve both knowledge of complex physics and reliability of turbomachinery flow predictions. However, these simulations are very expensive for industrial applications, especially when a 360  deg configuration should be considered. The objective of this paper is thus to adapt the well-known phase-lagged conditions to the LES approach by replacing the traditional Fourier series decomposition (FSD) with a compression method that does not make any assumptions on the spectrum of the flow. Several methods are reviewed, and the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is retained. This new method is first validated on a flow around a circular cylinder with rotating downstream blocks. The results show significant improvements with respect to the FSD. It is then applied to unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) simulations of a single-stage compressor in 2.5D and 3D as a first validation step toward single-passage LES of turbomachinery configuration.

In this work, we use large eddy simulation (LES) to study the influence of grid and subgrid model on the lift and drag force predictions of a fixed cylinder undergoing streamwise sinusoidal oscillations in a steady flow, resulting in a varying Reynolds number, Re, within the range 405 ≤ Re ≤ 2482. This benchmark case is a first step toward studying engineering applications related to flow-induced vibrations. We examine the influence of both grid resolution and the subgrid model using implicit and explicit LES. The methodology used, LES based on a finite-volume method capable of handling moving meshes, are found to provide force predictions that agree well with experimentally measured data, with respect both to the overall flow development and force magnitude.

Subgrid-scale closures for magnetohydodynamic (MHD) turbulence are examined using the filtering technique. From the similarities between incompressible MHD turbulence and its hydrodynamic counterpart, as well as ideas from dynamo theory, a subgrid model is constructed from the large-eddy simulation (LES) of MHD turbulence. This model should find applicability in treating LES of the reversed-field pinch.

An overview of scale-resolving simulation (SRS) methods used in ANSYS Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is provided. The main challenges, especially when computing boundary layers in large eddy simulation (LES) mode, will be discussed. The different strategies for handling wall-bound flows using combinations of RANS and LES models will be explained, along with some specific application examples. It will be demonstrated that the stress-blended eddy simulation (SBES) approach is optimal for applications with a mix of boundary layers and free shear flows due to its low cost and its ability to handle boundary layers in both RANS and wall-modeled LES (WMLES) modes.
