Unable to get turbulent flow using LES model

Hi.
I tried running my 3D empty channel (basically a hollow cuboid) flow using the LES model. After a few thousand runs of time step, I still get a laminar velocity magnitude contour. I tried lowering my viscosity such that my Reynolds number reaches 2e10, but the results are still the same. Is there a reason for this? |

What are the conditions set at the inlet of your channel?

Hi there.
Inlet and Outlet are set as periodic. Mass flow rate = 1kg/s Inlet velocity = 1m/s |

Hi,
try to set an initial condition with a random perturbation. What is your maximum and minimum grid spacing in the 3 directions? |

Dear Paolo Lampitella: I want to use Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the Fluent code: http://cfd.me.umist.ac.uk/ercofold/d...77/test77.html
I require for your assistance concerning the launching of this technique because it's the first time that I use it, especially this two information: 1. Time step Size 2. Number of time step I can give you more detail, if you send me you e-mail. |

Have you tried using a RANS based turbulence model, and see the flow behaviour? This will allow you to troubleshoot any problems relating to your physical setup of your case, and also more importantly you can use this result as the initial condition to your LES case.
To use it as the initial condition, the turbulence predicted needs to be superimposed onto the mean flow. This is done via a TUI command:/solve/initialize/init-instantaneous-vel Then you change your turbulence model to LES and start your solution. Hope that helps. |
