    Introduction: What is Turbulence?

    What is turbulence?

    Fluid flow occurs primarily in two regimes: laminar andturbulentflow regimes.

    Laminar flow:

    smooth, orderly flow restricted (usually) to low values of

    key parameters- Reynolds number, Grashof number,

    Taylor number, Richardson number.

    Turbulent flow:

    fluctuating, disorderly (random) motion of fluids

    Turbulent fluid motion is an irregular condition of flow in

    which various quantities show a random variation with time

    and space coordinates, so that statistically distinct averagevalues can be discerned. (Hinze, 1975)

    Beyond the critical values of some dimensionless

    parameters (e.g. Reynolds number) the laminar flow

    becomes unstable and transitions itself into a more stable

    but chaotic mode called turbulencecharacterized by

    unsteady, and spatially varying (three-dimensional) randomfluctuations which enhance mixing, diffusion, entrainment,

    and dissipation.

    Turbulent diffusion is proportional to gradient of the mean flowproperties (analogous to heat conduction qhj=-khdT/dxj)

    The principal axes of turbulent stresses and mean-strain rate Sijare

    aligned (Not valid for many flows)

    Small turbulent eddies are isotropic (Valid at high turbulence Reynoldsnumber)

    Turbulence phenomenon is consistent in symmetry, invariance (e.g.

    coordinate invariance), permutation, and physical observations

    (consistency and reliability)

    Turbulence phenomenon can be characterized by one velocity scale

    Effects of Compressibility

    In compressible flows significant density changes occur even if the

    pressure changes are small; D/dt 0; .u0

    For shock free, non-supersonic flows the Markovin hypothesis can beused, i.e. the effect of density fluctuations on turbulence is small if

    Favre averaged equations should be used with proper account of

    dilation, .u, and the second coefficient of viscosity (see e.g.Vandromme, 1995)

    The k -equations should be modified to account for the dilatation

    dissipation as a function of the Mach number (see e.g. Zeman, 1990)

    Wall functions should be modified (see e.g. Wilcox, 1993) to include

    density changes near the wall, and the Mach number effects on the log-

    law coefficients.

    Two- Equation Models: Assessment-1

    Simple, robust, and easy to apply to complex industrial flows. No

    restriction other than performance and accuracy concerns.

    Eddy viscosity usually improves stability and convergence , but-

    equation, especially when used with low Re-corrections can cause

    convergence problems.

    In general, the results can be rated as good to fair except for some

    certain cases for which the model variants are calibrated.

    Transport effects are partially taken into account via k-type equations,

    but the history effects on Reynolds stresses are not.

    233

    Two- Equation Models:Assessment-2

    Deficiencies of Boussinesq Approximation (i.e. eddy viscosity models)

    Principal axias of Reynolds stresses are aligned with those of mean stain

    rate; not necessarily so in reality (dU/dy = 0 does not always imply

    Normal stresses are usually not well predicted; local isotropy assumption

    which is implicitly inherent to these models is not always valid

    In general these models are not good for flows with extra rate of strains

    (rotation, curvature, buoyancy, secondary motion, sudden acceleration etc.)

    Remedy: Reynolds Stress Transport, Models (RSTM)

    Most of these short falls can be rectified by solving for the Reynolds stressesexplicitly using appropriate transport equations

    This is also known as Second Moment Closure Models (SMCM)

    Reynolds Stress Models: Assessment. Most rigorous of all models

    Have great potential for remedying the short comings of Boussinesq

    approximation without ad hoc corrections

    Physically realistic predictions for flows with curved streamlines, systemrotation, stratification, sudden changes in mean strain rate, secondary

    motion and anisotropy.

    The most problematic equation is still the-equation

    These models are mathematically complex, numerically challenging

    and computationally expensive.

    Wall functions and viscous damping functions are still necessary for

    wall bounded and free surface flows.

    Possible remedy(a compromise): non-linear eddy viscosity models

    (NLEVM) and algebraic stress models (ASM)

    Algebraic Stress Models - ASM

    The traditional ASMs can be viewed as implicit NLEVM. The most

    commonly used ASM was proposed by Rodi (1976, 1980)

    Assumption: Transport of tijis proportional to transport of k

    D(tij)/Dt - Diff( tij) = tij/k [ Dk/Dt - Diff ( k ) ] = tij/k [Pk+ G - ]

    Result: aij= Fa[ Pij/ - (2/3)P/ij ] + (1-c3)[ Gij/ - (2/3) G/]

    Fa= (1- )/[c1- 1 + (P+G)/]

    Pij= (tilUj/ xl +

    tjlUi/ xl )/; Gij= - [gi +gj]

    Pk

    = Pii

    /2 ; Gk

    = Gii

    /2

    Typical values for the constants are(Rodi, 1980):

    = 0.6, c1= 1.8, c3= 0.5

    Since tijappears in Pijand aij this equation needs to be solved iteratively.

    Algebraic Stress Models:Assessment

    Have the potential of including the extra strain effects, as well as

    anisotropy at some cost less than that of RSTMs Mimic the physical behavior by means of mathematical artifacts

    and careful calibration (Apsley et al. 1997)

    They need to be modified for low-Re effects and near wall

    treatment similar to the two-Eq. models The advantages seems to be less pronounced in 3D than 2D

    flows.

    Recommended for problems where anisotropy and certain extra

    strain rate effects are known to dominate

    Numerical Issues:Iteration Convergence

    The CFD solution methodology is usually iterative;

    n+1= [A]n+S ; n= number of iterations

    Numerical Issues:Grid Convergence

    Numerical solutions use finite elements or volumes (cells), called gird

    or mesh to discretize the continuum equations (PDEs), to obtain

    difference equations (FDEs).

    Discretization error = (exact sol. to PDE) - (sol.to FDE)

    = exact- num;

    let h = (x y z)1/3, a typical cell size

    As h ==> 0, num ==> exact 1st order method: Eh(h- 2h)

    2nd order method: Eh(h- 2h)/3

    Ehmust be calculated and minimized if possible

    (see e.g. Ferziger, 1989; Celik and Zhang, 1995 for details)

    Consistency Checks Check if the boundary conditions are reasonable and correctly

    implemented.

    Check if 10 < y+< 300 (wall functions), and y+< 1 (integration through

    the sub-layer)

    Make sure that grid convergence and iterative convergence are

    achieved or characterized. Note thatconvergence of turbulencequantities are much more difficult.

    For unsteady flow calculations convergence at every time step must be

    ensured.

    The integral mass, momentum and energy balances must be satisfied

    Direct Numerical Simulation- DNS Navier-Stokes equations are not limited to laminar flows. If they can be

    solved accurately as is (DNS) turbulence fluctuations can be captured

    and statistics can be obtained via post-processing

    Require very accurate numerical schemes, at least 4th order in time

    and space, or spectral methods (e.g. Fourier, Chebychev expansions)

    Must resolve all scales of turbulence down to Kolmogorov scales.Hence very large number of grid nodes and very small time steps are

    necessary. The higher the Re the smaller is the scales, hence the

    larger the computational cost and time.

    DNS solutions are not suitable to industrial applications but solutionsexist for low Re, simple flows which can be used to bench mark

    turbulence models and even experiments!

    Summary

    A overview of turbulence models for industrial application is presented.

    This included most commonly used models staring from zero-equation

    models to Reynolds Stress Transport models with an introduction to

    LES.

    The pros and cons of each model are elucidated to help the CFD users

    in selection of an appropriate turbulence model for their application. Anassessment is made with concrete examples.

    The boundary conditions, consistency checks and possible pitfalls

    particularly w.r.t numerical issues are presented as guidance to model

    implementation.

    The users are also provided with an extensive list of references for future

    reading and as a source of detailed information for numerous models.

    Concluding Remarks

    CFD is still not a mature area which can be used an ordinary software

    such asword processing!. It is somewhat of an art. The best method

    is the one that is validated for a similar problem being solved! Validation(the process of testing the performance of a model for the

    intended application) is the responsibility of the user. Iteration

    convergence, andgrid convergence errorsmust be taken into

    account before reaching conclusions.

    Verification(the process of ensuring a proper implementation of a

    turbulence model into a code)is the responsibility of code developers

    but the users must be aware of it.

    Best use for CFD is trend analysis and hence reduction in prototpe

    laboratory testing in design improvements and in new design concepts. Some minimal background in the area of fluid mechanics, numerical

    methods for partial differential equations, and turbulence, is essential!
