DNS 1-2 Description
Introduction
Turbulent Channel Flow, (8x4)Pi DNS were undertaken using PyFR (http://www.pyfr.org/) version 1.12.0:
- based on the high-order flux reconstruction method of Huynh
- compressible solver
- a Rusanov Riemann solver was employed to calculate the inter-element fluxes
- an explicit RK45[2R+] scheme was used to advance the solution in time
- Fifth order polynomials are used for the computations
Review of previous studies
Provide a brief review of related past studies, either experimental or computational. Identify the configuration chosen for the present study and position it with respect to previous studies. If the test case is geared on a certain experiment, explain what simplifications ( e.g. concern- ing geometry, boundary conditions) have been introduced with respect to the experiment in the computational setup to make the computations feasible and avoid uncertainty or ambiguity.
Description of the test case
A detailed self-contained description should be provided. It can be kept fairly short if a link can be made to an external data base where details are given. Then only the differences should be clearly indicated.
Geometry and flow parameters
Channel flow
The geometry is a cuboid of dimensions 8π units in the streamwise direction (x), 2 units in the transverse direction (y) and 4π units in the spanwise direction (z). The dimensions are normalised by the channel half-width, h and centreline velocity. The Taylor Reynolds number is 180.
Boundary conditions
Channel flow
The domain is periodic in the streamwise and spanwise directions which gives a flow developing in time. The transverse boundaries are viscous walls with no-slip boundary conditions. The initial density and pressure fields are uniform. The initial velocity field is (u,v,w)=(1-y2/h2). The solution is started at order 2 and progressively increased to order 5.
