Introduction to the Knowledge Base
The test cases are application centred, facilitating the identification of appropriate knowledge and advice for specific industrial purposes. They are organised around:
- Application Areas
- Underlying Flow Regimes
- Direct Numerical Simulations
- Experimental Studies
The application area section contains articles of specific interest to particular sector disciplines such as: Built Environment, Chemical and Process Engineering, External Aerodynamics, Turbomachinery, Combustion and Heat Transfer, Environmental Flows and Biomedical Flows.
Each Application Area is comprised of Application Challenges (AC) which are realistic industrial test cases used to judge the competency and limitations of CFD for a given Application Area.
These are generic, well studied test cases capturing important elements of the key flow physics encountered across the Application Areas.
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS)
These are test cases providing statistical data from high-fidelity calculations, primarily Direct Numerical Simulations but also near-DNS Large Eddy simulations.
These are well-studied test cases providing experimental data for gaining insight into the flow physics and for testing CFD methods
Content of the Knowledge Base
The content of each Application Challenge (AC) test case and Underlying Flow Regimes (UFR) test case article within the Knowledge Base consists of an:
- Abstract - Summary of content
- Description - Introduction to test case and physical phenomena involved, (for ACs also practical importance and parameters of interest, and for UFRs review of previous studies).
- Test Case Studies - Description of test case experiments and CFD simulations (and provision of data and CFD results for ACs, and also for some UFRs)
- Evaluation - Comparison of CFD calculations with test case experiments
- Best Practice Advice
The content of each Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) test case article also consists of an Abstract, Introduction to the physical phenomena, a brief review of previous studies and then:
- Test case description with geometry and boundary conditions
- Computational details
- Quantification of resolution
- Results of simulation with discussion
Also the content of each Experimental Studies (EXP) test case consists of an Abstract, Introduction to the physical phenomena, a brief review of previous experimental studies and then:
- Test-case description with geometry and flow parameters
- Experimental set up
- Measurement quantities and techniques
- Data Quality and Accuracy of measurements
- Measurement data/results
The AC and EXP articles are expected to have, and should contain, links to detailed data files for all experimental and, in case of AC, also CFD results according to the guidelines set out here. In the UFR articles it is sufficient to present the data as plots, although it is highly desirable to provide links to associated databases where these are available.
The templates for compiling AC, UFR, EXP and DNS articles can be found in the Template Library. For DNS cases data should be provided for the desirable/minimum quantities listed here according to the data storage guidelines set out here.
