Assuming you are actually doing LES, and not under-resolved LES, your grid size should satisfy the condition on Pe' in most of the domain. This is clearly very challenging for high Reynolds numbers,...

It is not possible to use a purely CD scheme with Pe > 2. In some case the problem is localised in some part of the domain, and you can try local grid refinement. If this is not the case, you can use...

Hi Filippo (and happy holiday!),

there is no dynamic Smagorinsky model for compressible flow implemented in OpenFOAM currently, just the standard Smagorinsky for compressible flows. There is the...

Hello,



Ce is not Cs. Ce is used to compute the dissipation rate.



In a general geometry it is not appropriate to average along planes either. You can average locally however.

Not really. I used it for some application in a complex geometry and did not notice anything strange.

Hi Filippo,

I think I saw part of those results, since they were in the paper Andrea sent me.
Did you try to run one case with the incompressible version of the model to see if the same...

I guess this returning question is a problem with the nomenclature.

The effective viscosity is nuEff = nu + nuSGS, being nu the molecular viscosity. As a consequence, clipping the effective...

The original Germano model was averaged along the homogeneous direction in a channel, since such a direction exists.

The model implemented in OpenFOAM obtains a single value of coefficients using...

There are many studies in the literature on this topic, which has been discussed already. I suggest you do a little research to find out the details.

Could you post a picture of the mesh? Is it a tet mesh or a hex mesh?

The system you are showing can be meshed with blockMesh fairly easily, obtaining a fully hex mesh. I'm not sure about the more...

You should not clip the nuSGS, but the total viscosity. One of the features of the dynamic model is exactly that it allows backscatter, which means the nuSGS should be allowed to become negative....

As a suggestion to save time: search the literature, the dynamic model has been used many times and compared to others and DNS.

The dynamic one-equation model is not the dynamic Smagorinsky model. In the one-equation model you have a transport equation for the SGS turbulent kinetic energy, and the coefficients are determined...

I think they used QUICK because they had oscillatory behaviour from central schemes, and wanted to remove them to obtain a smooth solution.

There are other strategies propose to do this (see, for...

Hi, sorry for the late reply.



Send me an email if you want my thesis. There is nothing in it about the implementation in OpenFOAM of the models however.



Yes, that's correct. You could...

I'm not aware of that. To try it, you can create your own version of dynSmagorinsky, remove the global averaging and implement some strategy to...

It is still better than the normal Smagorinsky, because it can adapt to the average flow conditions, meaning that if the flow globally has low-Re, the coefficient will adapt.

The averaging is...

I think it is a tradeoff between stability and accuracy. In a finite volume code, your global accuracy is second order anyway. If you use higher order schemes for the convection term you can have...

QUICK is not a suitable scheme for LES, and the upwind scheme is even worse. They are too dissipative.

You should use linear, or higher order central schemes. Generally, avoid limited schemes,...
