Quantification of resolution

Mesh resolution

A mesh resulting in approximately 250 million degrees of freedom (DoF). With a stretched grid, the maximum grid resolution in the duct centre is reported at ${\Delta z^{+}=11.6}$ , ${\Delta y^{+}=13.2}$ , ${\Delta x^{+}=19.5}$ . Correspondingly, the wall resolution (in terms of the first grid point) is reported as ${z^{+}=0.074}$ , ${y^{+}=0.37}$ in the spanwise and normal directions, respectively, is used.

Solution verification

The 10000 Reynolds number diffuser has been run and compared with the results with previous DNS data performed by

Ohlsson et al. [7]. A P2 mesh of 250 Million of DoF. The resolution is fine enough to be at DNS leve.

(figs 5 & 6)

In Figures 5 and 6 results are presented with reference data from Ohlsson et al. [7]. Fair agreement is observed between both calculations, proving that the approach to be used in the present proposal is an optimal strategy. Turbulent inlet was generated in a precursor domain using a long enough duct with a roughness element to trigger the laminar to turbulent transition.

One way to verify that the DNS are properly resolved is to examine the residuals of the Reynolds- stress budget equations. These residuals are among the statistical volume data to be provided as described in Statistical Data section.
