Why LES?
• Some applications need explicit computation of accurate unsteady fields.
– Bluff body aerodynamics– Aerodynamically generated noise (sound)– Fluid-structure interaction– Mixing– Combustion – …
![Page 7: Turbulence Modelling: Large Eddy Simulation. Turbulence Modeling: Large Eddy Simulation and Hybrid RANS/LES Introduction LES Sub-grid Models Numerical](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649dd15503460f94ac74f8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
LES : difficulties
• Cpu expensive for atmospheric modelling:
– Unsteady simulation
– Turn around time is weeks/months (rans is hours or days)
– Cannot afford grid independence testing
• Still open research issues
– combustion, acoustics, high Prandtl, shmidt mixing problem, uns.
– Wall bounded flows
• Need expertise to reduce cpu, human cost
– Mesh – models – strategy
– Analysis of the instantaneous flow
– Knowledge about turbulent instabilities, turbulent structures

Energy Spectrum
• Large eddies: responsible for the transports of
momentum, energy, and other scalars.
anisotropic, subjected to history
effects, are strongly dependent on boundary conditions, which makes their modeling difficult.
k,f
Small eddies tend to be more isotropic and less flow-dependent (universal), mainly dissipative scales, which makes their modeling easier.

Filtering
• The large or resolved scale field is a local average of the complete field.
– e.g., in 1-D,
– Where G(x,x’) is the filter kernel.
– Exemple: “box filter” G(x,x’) = 1/D if |x-x’|<D/2, 0 otherwise

Smagorinsky’s Model
• Hypothesis: local equilibrium of sub-grid scales• Simple algebraic (0-equation) model (similar to Prandtle Mixing
length model in RANS)
• Cs= 0.065 ~ 0.25• The major shortcoming is that there is no Cs universally applicable
to different types of flow.• Difficulty with transitional (laminar) flows.• An ad hoc damping is needed in near-wall region.• Turbulent viscosity is always positive so no possibility of
backscatter.

Dynamic Smagorinsky’s Model
• Based on the similarity concept and Germano’s identity (Germano et al., 1991; Lilly, 1992)
• Introduce a second filter, called the test filter with scale larger than the grid filter scale
• The model parameter (Cs ) is automatically adjusted using the resolved velocity field.
• Overcomes the shortcomings of the Smagorinsky’s model.
– Can handle transitional flows
– The near-wall (damping) effects are accounted for.
• Potential Instability of the constant

• Basic Idea : consider the same smagorinsky model at two different scales, and adjust the constant accordingly
• Constant value = error minimization using least square method and Germano’s Identity

Dynamic Subgrid KE Transport Model
• Kim and Menon (1997)
• One-equation (for SGS kinetic energy) model
• Like the dynamic Smagorinsky’s model, the model constants (Ck, Ce) are automatically adjusted on-the-fly using the resolved velocity field.
• Backscatter better accounted for

Mesh
• Grid resolution :
– Constraint Based on LES hypothesis:• Explicit Resolution of production mechanism (whereas production
is modeled with RANS)• Resolution of anisotropic and energetic large scales
– Cell size must be included inside the inertial range, in between the integral scale (L) and the Taylor micro-scale (l).
– Integral scale L• Energy peaks at the integral scale. These scales must be resolved
(with several grid points).• Crude Estimation of L :
– Use correlation (mixing layer, jet) for L– Perform RANS calculation and compute L = k3/2 / e

Mesh
• Grid resolution:
– Taylor micro-scale l:• Dissipation rate peaks at l.• Not necessary to resolve l but useful to define a lower bound for the cell
size.• Estimation of l ~ L ReL-1/2
– ( for an homogeneous and isotropic turbulence = 151/2 L ReL-1/2)
– Temporal resolution: resolve characteristic time scale associated to the cell size (ie CFL=U Dt / Dx <1).
• As for the numerical scheme (minimization of numerical errors) use of hexa and high quality of mesh (very small deformations) is recommended
![Page 19: Turbulence Modelling: Large Eddy Simulation. Turbulence Modeling: Large Eddy Simulation and Hybrid RANS/LES Introduction LES Sub-grid Models Numerical](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649dd15503460f94ac74f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Numerics: time step
– Dt must be of the order (or even less for acoustic purpose) of the characteristic time scale t corresponding to the smallest resolved scales.
– As t~Dx/U , it correspond to approx CFL = 1 (Courant Dreidrich Levy Number) (where U is the velocity scale of the flow)
![Page 20: Turbulence Modelling: Large Eddy Simulation. Turbulence Modeling: Large Eddy Simulation and Hybrid RANS/LES Introduction LES Sub-grid Models Numerical](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649dd15503460f94ac74f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Numerics: discretization scheme
• Discretization scheme in space should minimize numerical dissipation– LES is much more sensitive to numerical diffusion than RANS– 2nd Order Central Difference Scheme (CD or BCD) perform much better than high order
upwind scheme for momentum• A commonly used remedy is to blend CD and FOU.
– With a fixed weight (G = 0.8), this blending scheme has been found to still introduce considerable numerical diffusion
– Bad idea! • Most ideally, we need a smart, solution-adaptive scheme that detects the wiggles on-the-fly
and suppress them selectively.

Boundary Conditions
• Near Wall treatment
• 1/ Near Wall Resolving
– All the near–wall turbulent structures are explicitly computed down to the viscous sub-layer.
• 2/ Near Wall Modeling
– All the near-wall turbulent structures are explicitly computed down to a given y+ >1
• 3/ DES:
– No turbulent structures are computed at all inside the entire boundary layer (all B.L. is modeled with RANS).
![Page 24: Turbulence Modelling: Large Eddy Simulation. Turbulence Modeling: Large Eddy Simulation and Hybrid RANS/LES Introduction LES Sub-grid Models Numerical](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649dd15503460f94ac74f8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Boundary Conditions
• 1/ Near wall resolving : explicit resolution of the boundary layer.
– Motivation: separated flows, complex physics (turbulence control)
– High resolution requirement due to the presence of (anisotropic) wall turbulent structures: so called streaks.
– Necessary to resolved correctly these near wall production mechanisms
–
• Boundary layer grid resolution :
• y+<2
• Dx+ ~ 50-150, Dz+ ~ 15-40
•
• Not only wall normal constraints, but also Span-wise and stream-wise constraints due to the streaky structures
![Page 25: Turbulence Modelling: Large Eddy Simulation. Turbulence Modeling: Large Eddy Simulation and Hybrid RANS/LES Introduction LES Sub-grid Models Numerical](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56649dd15503460f94ac74f8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Boundary Conditions
• Near wall modeling :
• Wall function:
– Schumann/Grozbach:
• Instantaneous wall shear stress at walls and instantaneous tangential velocity in the wall adjacent cells are assumed to be in phase.
• Log law apply for mean velocity (necessary to perform acquisition)
– Werner & Wengle (6.2):
• Instantaneous wall shear stress at walls and instantaneous tangential velocity in the wall adjacent cells are assumed to be in phase.
• Filtered Log law (power 1/7) applied to instantaneous quantities

LES-URANS hybrid
• Problems:– LES region is supplied with bad BC from the URANS
regions – The flow going from URANS to LES region has no
proper time or length scale of turbulence
• Solution:– Add synthesized isotropic fluctuations as the source
term of the momentum equations at the LES-URANS interface.

Conclusion
• RANS/URANS is not always reliable.• LES is closer to reality than RANS/URANS.• LES is computationally very expensive.• In the absence of enough experimental data one is left
with no choice but to use LES wherever feasible.
