Some crucial but standing challenges in modeling and simulation of ABL flows lie in the detailed representation of boundary layer turbulence (e.g. [1]). This includes intermittent and transient processes and the resulting turbulent and laminar response mechanisms. State-of-the-art subgrid-scale models utilize statistical closures for an averaged resolved flow state on the basis of the Monin-Obhukov similarity theory (MOST) to represent scalar fluxes and momentum fluxes (e.g. [2]). Fluctuations are not resolved in MOST. Instead, their ensemble effect is parameterized by the resolved large scales, neglecting backscatter from the unresolved small scales. Data-driven stochastic approaches aim to incorporate fluctuations and the spontaneous occurrence of instabilities, but at the expense of ad hoc forcings (e.g. [3]). The mentioned limitations can be removed by a physically compatible representation of turbulent fluctuations. This is addressed here by utilization of a map-based stochastic approach that is based on the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model [4]. ODT autonomously evolves vertical flow profiles for prescribed initial and boundary conditions, and physical forcings. The model captures turbulent cascade phenomenology and aims to resolve all relevant turbulent scales along a physical coordinate. Turbulent advection is modeled by a stochastically sampled sequence of spatial mapping events that punctuate the deterministic advancement due to viscous and Coriolis forces. The offered dynamical complexity removes the need for artificial forcings. In the contribution, key results from recent and ongoing studies related to the reduced-order modeling of ABL flows will be presented. First, surface scalar and momentum fluxes in turbulent channels are discussed emphasizing the correctly predicted inapplicability of the Reynolds analogy [5].

The multi-physical processes governing the flow properties, however, are not yet very well understood. This is due the inaccessibility to and limitations of measurement equipment and numerical resolution requirements imposed by the electrostatic charge boundary layer that interacts on different time scales with the turbulent boundary layer. Recent advances in measurement techniques allow to resolve the exponential electrostatic charge boundary layer in a charged particle-ladden, weakly turbulent gas flow [1], which is qualitatively compatible with direct numerical simulation (DNS) results for a weakly turbulent flow of an electrolyte [2] at low Reynolds (Re) number. The challenge that remains is the extrapolation to highly turbulent flow conditions. Charged particles are heavy compared with fluid molecules and can be treated as a high Schmidt (Sc) number scalar, which is a burden for DNS. In this contribution, it is demonstrated that this burden can be overcome for the transient boundary layer evolution by utilizing a radically reduced, map-based stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model.

Mixing processes also plays an important role in many industrial applications. The full resolution of all relevant flow scales often poses a major challenge to the numerical simulation and requires a modeling of the small-scale effects. In transported Probability Density Function (PDF) methods, the simplified modeling of the molecular mixing is a known weak point. At this place, the Hierarchical Parcel-Swapping (HiPS) model developed by A.R. Kerstein [J. Stat. Phys. 153, 142-161 (2013)] represents a computationally efficient and novel turbulent mixing model. HiPS simulates the effects of turbulence on time-evolving, diffusive scalar fields. The interpretation of the diffusive scalar fields or a state space as a binary tree structure is an alternative approach compared to existing mixing models. The characteristic feature of HiPS is that every level of the tree corresponds to a specific length and time scale, which is based on turbulence inertial range scaling. The state variables only reside at the base of the tree and are understood as fluid parcels. The effects of turbulent advection are represented by stochastic swaps of sub-trees at rates determined by turbulent time scales associated with the sub-trees. The mixing of adjacent fluid parcels is done at rates consistent with the prevailing diffusion time scales. In this work, a standalone HiPS model formulation for the simulation of passive scalar mixing is detailed first. The generated scalar power spectra with forced turbulence shows the known scaling law of Kolmogorov turbulence. Furthermore, results for the PDF of the passive scalar, mean square displacement and scalar dissipation rate are shown and reveal a reasonable agreement with experimental findings. The described possibility to account for variable Schmidt number effects is an important next development step for the HiPS formulation. This enables the incorporation of differential diffusion, which represents an immense advantage compared to the established mixing models. Using a binary structure allows HiPS to satisfy a large number of criteria for a good mixing model. Considering the reduced order and associated computational efficiency, HiPS is an attractive mixing model, which can contribute to an improved representation of the molecular mixing in transported PDF methods.}, language = {en} } @misc{KleinMedinaMendezSchmidt, author = {Klein, Marten and Medina M{\´e}ndez, Juan Al{\´i} and Schmidt, Heiko}, title = {Stochastic modeling of electrohydrodynamically enhanced drag in one-way and fully coupled turbulent Poiseuille and Couette flow}, series = {Technische Mechanik}, volume = {43}, journal = {Technische Mechanik}, number = {1}, issn = {0232-3869}, doi = {10.24352/UB.OVGU-2023-049}, pages = {111 -- 127}, abstract = {Joint predictive modeling of hydrodynamics and electrokinetics is a standing numerical challenge but crucial for various applications in electrochemistry and power engineering.

One of the standing challenges in modeling and simulation of ABLs is a physically based representation of complex multiscale boundary layer dynamics. In this study, an idealized time-dependent ABL, the so-called Ekman-Stokes boundary layer (ESBL), is considered as a simple model for the near-surface flow in the mid latitudes and polar regions. The ESBL is driven by a prescribed temporal modulation of the bulk-surface velocity difference. A stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is applied to the ESBL as standalone tool that aims to resolve all relevant scales of the flow along a representative vertical coordinate. It is demonstrated by comparison with reference data that ODT is able to capture relevant features of the time-dependent boundary layer flow.

Unlike Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and VLES, ODTLES does neither need a wall model, nor a damping function. The correct near-wall behavior is naturally obtained from one SGS ODT domain that is locally wall-normal. The proposed hybrid (3-D/1-D) approach allows the resolution of all relevant scales, modeling certain aspects of 3-D turbulence on the SGS scale. Here, turbulent duct flow is considered as an example, which poses a moderate challenge for traditional LES due to emerging secondary flows that manifest themselves by corner vortices that crucially depend on the accurate capturing of small and large scale motions.

Lowest-level swaps change fluid parcel pairings, with new pairings instantly mixed. This formulation suitable for unity Schmidt number Sc is extended to non-unity Sc. For high Sc, the tree is extended to the Batchelor level, assigning the same time scale (governing the rate of swap occurrences) to the added levels as the time scale at the base of the Sc=3 tree. For low Sc, a swap at the Obukhov-Corrsin level mixes all parcels within corresponding subtrees. Well-defined model analogues of turbulent diffusivity, and mean scalar-variance production and dissipation rates are identified. Simulations idealising stationary homogeneous turbulence with an imposed scalar gradient reproduce various statistical properties of viscous-range and inertial-range pair dispersion, and of the scalar power spectrum in the inertial-advective, inertial-diffusive and viscous-advective regimes. The viscous-range probability density functions of pair separation and scalar dissipation agree with applicable theory, including the stretched-exponential tail shape associated with viscous-range scalar intermittency. Previous observation of that tail shape for Sc=1, heretofore not modelled or explained, is reproduced. Comparisons to direct numerical simulation allow evaluation of empirical coefficients, facilitating quantitative applications.
