Dear all,
When I tried to simulate urban boundary layer, I found that the imposed velocity fluctuations decrease sharply near the inlet. At the inlet, groovyBC was used:
Code:
inlet
{
type groovyBC;
variables
(
"Uref=3.654;"
"zref=0.2;"
"alpha=0.31;"
"zh=pos().z/zref;"
"Uxm=Uref*pow(zh,alpha);"
"a1=-0.09365;"
"b1=0.1448;"
"c1=0.06564;"
"a2=0.8404;"
"b2=0.4765;"
"c2=0.5241;"
"a3=0.3152;"
"b3=0.1186;"
"c3=0.1319;"
"deltau=a1*exp(-pow((pos().z-b1)/c1,2)) + a2*exp(-pow((pos().z-b2)/c2,2)) + a3*exp(-pow((pos().z-b3)/c3,2));"
);
valueExpression "vector(Uxm+randNormal()*deltau, 0, 0)";
}
Please check the attached figures for velocity fluctuations at the inlet (x = -1.1, figure 1.1), and two locations near the inlet (x=-1.08, figure 1.08), (x=-1.02, figure 1.02). The x range of the block is from -1.1 to 1.9.
Does anyone have some ideas about this?
Thanks,
Leo
