Applications of scale-adaptive simulation technique based on one-equation turbulence model

摘要

A modified scale-adaptive simulation(SAS) technique based on the SpalartAllmaras(SA) model is proposed. To clarify its capability in prediction of the complex turbulent flow, two typical cases are carried out, i.e., the subcritical flow past a circular cylinder and the transonic flow over a hemisphere cylinder. For comparison, the same cases are calculated by the detached-eddy simulation(DES), the delayed-detached eddy simulation(DDES), and the XY-SAS approaches. Some typical results including the mean pressure coefficient, velocity, and Reynolds stress profiles are obtained and compared with the experiments. Extensive calculations show that the proposed SAS technique can give better prediction of the massively separated flow and shock/turbulent-boundary-layer interaction than the DES and DDES methods. Furthermore, by the comparison of the XY-SAS model with the present SAS model, some improvements can be obtained.
