An understanding of this idealised flow is of fundamental relevance for the numerical analysis of turbulent boundary-layer-type flows. In the present ODT simulations, the flow variables are resolved on all scales along a wall-normal, one-dimensional domain. These variables are evolved by a deterministic and a stochastic process. The latter models the effect of turbulent advection and pressure fluctuations, whereas the former represents molecular diffusion. The model is appropriate for high Reynolds numbers for which the turbulence field exhibits a broad range of scales and is notionally featureless. We show that ODT is able to capture salient features of the TBL by comparing the various statistics with available reference direct numerical simulation (DNS) results for different bulk Reynolds numbers in the range 250 ≤ Reb ≤ 2000 using fixed model parameters.

This theory exploits the homogeneous character of the roughness in order to reduce the complexity of the flow to its one-dimensional statistics. The formulated VAT-based roughness forcing is best suited for drag dominated surfaces. Turbulence modeling closure is achieved with a map-based turbulence model, the One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model. This avoids the prescription of laws of the wall or other ad-hoc scalings, unlike in more traditional filter-based turbulence models. The modeling framework is applied on selected Reynolds number flows for likewise selected roughness topologies. Results are compared to direct numerical simulation (DNS) data available from the literature. Among others, model results are compared with those of a previously formulated parametric forcing approach (PFA) for roughness drag which involved a costly coefficient calibration linked to the roughness topology model. In ODT, the only calibration process required is the same one involved for the turbulence model parameters, i.e., similar to the ODT model application for smooth-wall flows.

ODT has been applied to a wide range of complex multi-scale flows, such as turbulent combustion. Previous ODT comparisons to experimental data have focused mainly on planar flows. Applications to cylindrical flows, such as round jets, have been based on rough analogies, e.g., by exploiting the fortuitous consistency of the similarity scalings of temporally developing planar jets and spatially developing round jets. To obtain a more systematic treatment, a new formulation of the ODT model in cylindrical and spherical coordinates is presented here. The model is written in terms of a geometric factor so that planar, cylindrical, and spherical configurations are represented in the same way. Temporal and spatial versions of the model are presented. A Lagrangian finite-volume implementation is used with a dynamically adaptive mesh. The adaptive mesh facilitates the implementation of cylindrical and spherical versions of the triplet map, which is used to model turbulent advection (eddy events) in the one-dimensional flow coordinate. In cylindrical and spherical coordinates, geometric stretching of the three triplet map images occurs due to the radial dependence of volume, with the stretching being strongest near the centerline. Two triplet map variants, TMA and TMB, are presented. In TMA, the three map images have the same volume, but different radial segment lengths. In TMB, the three map images have the same radial segment lengths, but different segment volumes. Cylindrical results are presented for temporal pipe flow, a spatial nonreacting jet, and a spatial nonreacting jet flame. These results compare very well to direct numerical simulation for the pipe flow, and to experimental data for the jets. The nonreacting jet treatment overpredicts velocity fluctuations near the centerline, due to the geometric stretching of the triplet maps and its effect on the eddy event rate distribution. TMB performs better than TMA. A hybrid planar-TMB (PTMB) approach is also presented, which further improves the results. TMA, TMB, and PTMB are nearly identical in the pipe flow where the key dynamics occur near the wall away from the centerline.
