T1 - Turbulent mixing simulation using the Hierarchical Parcel-Swapping (HiPS) model T2 - Technische Mechanik N2 - Turbulent mixing is an omnipresent phenomenon that permanently affects our everyday life. 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.

The present lack in modeling of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) turbulent flows lies in the treatment of small-scale processes and scale interactions. To overcome these limitations, a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is utilized. The model aims to resolve all scales of the flow, but only on a notional line-of-sight, modeling turbulent advection by a stochastically sampled sequence of eddy events that punctuate deterministic molecular diffusive advancement. In this study, two canonical flow configurations are investigated that address different coupling strategies and flow physics. First, EHD effects in a variable-density vertical pipe flow of an ideal gas with an inner concentric electrode are investigated with a one-way coupled model formulation. Electric fields are generated by means of a corona discharge and the corresponding effect of a fixed ionic charge density field. Second, in order to reduce physical complexity, EHD effects the turbulent boundary layers in plane Couette flow of an isothermal univalent ionic liquid are investigated with a fully coupled model formulation. Both application cases demonstrate that ODT has predictive capabilities due to multiscale resolution of transport processes. Present results suggest that more expensive fully than one-way coupling of electrokinetics is crucial when charge relaxation times are significantly larger than the mean advection time scale.

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. The model predicts a parametric enhancement of the bulk–surface coupling in the event of a boundary layer resonance when the flow is forced with the local Coriolis frequency. The latter reproduces leading order effects of the critical latitudes. The model results suggest that the bulk flow decouples from the surface for high forcing frequencies due to a relative increase in detached residual turbulence.

The main objective of this work is to more accurately predict the heat transfer in tubular heat exchangers at low Prandtl numbers by extending the analysis for weak temperature fluctuations as recently introduced in Tsai et al., Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 23:e202300167, 2023. The ODT model offers the required predictive capabilities at affordable cost by providing full‐scale resolution of viscous, conductive, and turbulent advective transport processes along a representative radial coordinate. The Prandtl numbers and are considered for which the radius ratio of the annular pipe and the Reynolds number are varied. Numerical results demonstrate that the geometry (radius ratio) has a significant influence on the thermal boundary layer that emerges over the inner and outer curved wall, respectively. Application of boundary layer theory and mixing length arguments yield an analytical expression that includes both Reynolds number and curvature effects. Unknown closure coefficients are estimated with ODT, providing a physically based correlation for the Nusselt number.

After being ported from Fortran 90, the current capabilities of the C++ code are restricted to the reproducibility of turbulent channel flow simulations with respect to the former Fortran code version that was able to achieve reasonable agreement with available reference direct numerical simulation (DNS) for low to moderate Reynolds number turbulent channel flows. This is far from satisfactory so that current efforts are centered on improving the solver code structure through comprehensive refactoring, robust unit testing, and strict adherence to code style guides, following the principles of Clean Code. We focus the discussion on a methodology to balance unit, regression, and integration testing, here for the LES component of the code. The objective is to frame a starting point that is relevant also for other CFD codes, irrespective of whether they utilize conventional or novel discretization or flow modeling approaches.

One of the key challenges for the integration of these sources into the existing power grid is their erratic and sometimes discontinuous availability (volatility). Wind energy is one of the most relevant sources of CO2 neutral electric energy, but volatile due to fluctuating wind fields on multiple scales. This has already been realized so that senors provide real-time information on the scale of individual wind turbines. However, fore- casting remains an unresolved problem since numerical weather prediction models cannot provide the necessary level of detail.

By integrating the one-dimensional turbulence model as a stochastic subgrid-scale approach, XLES autonomously resolves turbulent microscales in a dimensionally reduced setting. Our implementation employs a coarse grid solely for pressure calculations, while three specialized high-resolution grids handle the turbulence dynamics. This multi-scale architecture reduces computational requirements by approximately two orders of magnitude compared to direct numerical simulation while maintaining comparable accuracy. Our results for turbulent channel flow at Reynolds number 395 demonstrate that XLES with a base resolution of just cells closely matches DNS reference data, vastly outperforming implicit LES using identical resolution and discretization schemes. This updated implementation of XLES, though still under active development, demonstrates significant potential for accurately simulating wall-bounded turbulent flows while substantially reducing computational requirements compared to traditional high-fidelity approaches.

A1 - Klein, Marten A1 - Schmidt, Heiko T1 - ODTLES : large-eddy simulation with autonomous stochastic subgrid-scale modeling applied to turbulent duct flow T2 - Proceedings of the Conference on Modelling Fluid Flow CMFF’25 N2 - In this work, we discuss the application of the One-Dimensional Turbulence-based (very) Large-Eddy Simulation model, abbreviated as ODTLES, to turbulent duct flow. ODTLES is a multi-scale flow model in which an autonomous stochastic One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model, capable of simulating the full bandwidth of time and length-scales in a 1-D domain, is supplemented with large-scale 3-D information coming from a very large eddy simulation (VLES) grid. ODTLES is more expensive than any other VLES, but could be cheaper than highly resolved LES or, naturally, than Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). 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. Preliminary results indicate a reasonable match with DNS for mean velocity profiles, although capturing secondary flow structures remains a challenge at this stage. Further refinements of the solver and modeling approach are ongoing to improve accuracy and predictive capabilities.

The aim is to understand how surface conditions influence flow patterns, thermal mixing, and heat transfer efficiency in a cubic cavity with heated bottom and cooled top walls. Results show that free-slip conditions significantly enhance heat transfer, yielding higher Nusselt numbers due to thinner thermal boundary layers and stronger convective currents. In contrast, finite-slip conditions produce results similar to no-slip cases, indicating minimal impact for the slip lengths considered. The results demonstrate that surface boundary conditions play a role in modulating flow dynamics and heat transfer in RB convection.

Length scales decrease geometrically with increasing tree level, and corresponding time scales follow inertial range scaling. Turbulent eddies are represented by swapping subtrees. 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. Parcel-pair mixing is a common mixing treatment, e.g. in subgrid closures for coarse-grained flow simulation, so HiPS can improve model physics simply by smarter (yet nearly cost-free) selection of pairs to be mixed.

The dimensional reduction of ODT allows for simulations with affordable computational costs and provides nonetheless full-scale resolution along a notional line of sight crossing the turbulent flow field. The considered Cabra burner configuration consists of a jet flame issuing from a central nozzle into a vitiated coflow of hot combustion products. Radial and centerline profiles for mixture fraction, temperature and selected species mass fractions obtained from ODT using a reduced and detailed reaction mechanism are in appropriate agreement with the existing experimental measurements. A two-dimensional illustration of the autoignition index is given, which enables the distinction between autoignition and propagation driven reaction zones. Additionally, the sensitivity of the jet combustion to velocity and temperature variations is investigated. Considering the reduced order of ODT and the sensitivity of the subtle interactions of the hot coflow with the cold jet on the entire reaction process, ODT is able to predict the flow characteristics and reasonably matches the experimental data. As a consequence, ODT is an efficient and alternative model for turbulent reactive flow simulations.

Previous work has shown that traditional wall models fail in predicting bulk quantities due to insufficient representation of the inner wall. The main objective is to assess the suitability of RANS for prediction of the flowfield if a wall function that captures the effect of the inner wall spanwise curvature at small radius ratios is provided. As a starting point, the mixing length model is used as the RANS turbulence model. The results suggest that while improved mean flow statistics can potentially be obtained, an accurate wall model representation is insufficient for capturing the mean flow in terms of the location of the velocity maximum properly.

Different volumetric forcing schemes have been used in the literature, but the side effects are rarely discussed, either because these are assumed irrelevant or because it is too costly to conduct such an analysis with a high‐fidelity model. In this study, we have used One‐Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model to compare forcing schemes at low Reynolds numbers. Our analysis reveals critical flaws in the linear forcing model when applied to ODT. While both schemes exhibit spectral deviations from direct numerical simulation (DNS), the stochastic forcing scheme demonstrates superior dynamic fidelity, better capturing the turbulent energy cascade. In contrast, the linear forcing scheme suffers from a non‐physical energy deficit at large scales and is approximately 10 times more computationally expensive. These artefacts directly impact scalar mixing: The stochastic scheme produces classic, multi‐scale intermittency, whereas linear forcing generates extreme gradients confined only at the dissipative scales. These results demonstrate that the choice of forcing is a critical modelling decision in ODT, leading to fundamentally different model‐dependent artifacts in both turbulence dynamics and scalar mixing statistics, at least in low Reynolds number regimes.

A stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is applied to an idealized neutrally stratified ABL and evolves the instantaneous velocity profile with full-scale resolution. The model is able to reproduce the law of the wall consistently after an initial calibration with the surface drag law.

The flow in the annular gap is characterized by a radius ratio of 0.1, and a friction Reynolds number equal to 600 that is based on a mean friction velocity. Deviations from the mean velocity profile are observed for all RANS models investigated when compared with Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) reference data. The representation of the near-wall outer cylinder flow is better than that of the near-wall inner cylinder flow.
