One-Equation Subgrid Scale Model Using Dynamic Procedure for the Energy Production

Abstract

The transport equation of subgrid scale (SGS) kinetic energy, KSGS, is used for the large-eddy simulation (LES), considering its consistency with dynamic procedure. The dynamically determined parameter is suitable for describing the energy transfer from resolved turbulence to SGS portion. Thus the procedure is applied to the production term in the transport equation of KSGS, while the eddy viscosity in the filtered equation of motion is determined indirectly through KSGS. The statistically derived model for KSGS equation is adopted for the basis of our improvement. Computational examination has been conducted for fully developed turbulent flow in a plane channel. Agreement with DNS database was satisfactory. Moreover, in a channel on solid body rotation, our model reasonably reproduced the decay of SGS turbulence in the vicinity of the suction side.
