I have been reading papers on simulating turbulent flow but they are all vague with regards to grid sizing. I keep seeing 4*pi*delta x 2*delta or 2*pi*h x 4*h. Do I just take these algebras (e.g. delta/h) as 1? None of them assign a value for these algebras and thus, I am not sure what should I used.

Thanks for the reply but I am still unsure. Can I just use delta=1?\
Or (for brevity, I will write \Delta=D and \delta=d) I was given Dx+=20, Dy+=5, Dz+=10, y+=0.5 and computation domain in 2d units as (pi) x (1) x (0.5*pi) with grid points 68 x 68 x 128. From Pope(2000), delta equals to half height of rectangle channel. Thus, d = 0.5*(2d)*(0.5*pi)? This doesn't makes sense. And why is the domain written in terms of channel's half-width? E.g. http://cfd.mace.manchester.ac.uk/cgi...as32_rsol.html Or From this site (https://www.researchgate.net/post/Wh...uirment_of_LES), Half height of channel along x, Lx=0.5*pi*d; Dx+ = dx/Lx = dx/(0.5*pi*d) = 20; dx = 40*pi*d; dx*Nx = (20*pi*d)*68 = 2*pi*d; This doesn't make sense and I think I still don't fully get the dimensionless wall units too. I think my confusion is mainly the notation. How do I interpret this delta? Or does it not matter what delta is as long as my dimensionless value are consistent with what I used for delta? |

Forget about the notation. All you need to do is calculate

However, what physical value should I assign to H in terms of metre?
delta = H / 2; x+ = x / delta; dx+ = dx / delta = x+ / Nx; dx = x / Nx; Subbing in your equation, dx = 16*H*Nx*Nz; Nx and Nz are given while x is given in terms of delta(=0.5*H). Thus, my dx is given in terms of delta or H which means I am still stuck trying to determine value of H or delta? I do have the number of cells given for H but but what value should I give it in terms of metre length? Or does it not matter what physical value I assign to it as long as the above relation holds? Additionally, may I ask where does 16 & 6 come from? |

Channel height is user's choice but is actually the defining variable in Reynolds number. For a fixed Re and fixed fluid, H gets fixed since that is used to define Re.
16 and 6 are not hard and fast values, rather based on best practices developed over the time as well as based on the assumption that the system is periodic. It also depends upon what energy scale do you want to resolve in LES.

Thanks so much! I now know how to set up my domain accordingly
