Turbulent incompressible Channelflow - whitch Startcase?

Jem01 · January 31, 2017, 07:10

Hello, i wanna simulate an incompressible turbulente channelflow with cyclic walls. Which Tutorialfile should i start with?

Im trying the "channel395" file but it has no turbulence. Can you recommend a more complete one?

thx a lot!

If you run the tutorial case for long enough you will get a turbulent profile. There is a utility 'perturbU' but I think you have to compile it yourself. This introduces small perturbations near the wall which will eventually blow up into a turbulent state.
