A journal paper in Advances in Science and Research details the numerical modeling approach used to create the data. Here, the model input files, the raw data, processed data, and plot scripts are provided that support the research.
The code used to generate the data is an extended version of the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. The current model implementation utilizes an adaptive grid that further increases numerical efficiency. A reduced version of the adaptive ODT code used in this work is available free of charge at:

The bash script makePlot.sh is the top-level driver and contains all additional information about the cases. Some other Details are provided by low-level README files. Python-3.8 is required to run the scripts.
A characteristic-based Off-Lattice Boltzmann Method (OLBM) and a stochastic One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model is utilized for numerical simulation of turbulent thermal convection. Standalone ODT results for low-order statistics are compared with those from various eddy-viscosity-based subgrid-scale models utilized in Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) with OLBM. The predictive capabilities of both approaches are discussed by comparison with available reference Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) results. All turbulence models are able to predicted the mean temperature, but fail to fully capture fluctuations. While the OLBM aims to represent large-scale structures, it misses some constitutional small-scale fluctuations. By contrast, the reduced-order ODT model captures small-scale fluctuations in the vicinity of the wall, but cannot resolve the organized bulk flow. Here, the modeling capabilities of both OLBM and ODT as standalone tools are discussed. On this basis, a strategy for the incorporation of ODT as wall model in OLBM is suggested.
The present study numerically investigates turbulent momentum transfer in concentric coaxial (annular) pipe flow with small radius ratios (𝜂 = 𝑅𝑖∕𝑅𝑜 = 0.1,0.04,0.02). To model the flow, a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model formulated for cylindrical geometry is used that provides full-scale resolution along a representative radial coordinate. The present investigation extends the model validation by Tsai et al. (PAMM,22:e202200272, 2023), to radius ratios smaller than 0.1 and addresses boundary layers with strong span-wise curvature effects. The focus is on the assessment and analysis of statistical flow features in the vicinity of the inner cylinder wall, particularly in cases with small radius ratios. Following Boersma & Breugem (Flow Turbul. Com-bust.,86:113–127, 2011), classical boundary-layer and mixing-length theory is utilized to analyze the model predictions. The results demonstrate that the ODT model captures leading-order curvature and mixing-length effects by its physics-compatible construction. Utilizing the model for extrapolation to high Reynolds numbers inaccessible to conventional high-fidelity numerical approaches shows that curvature effects persist and nonlocally affect the entire boundary layer. The model results provide support for a spanwise-curvature-modified wall function.
Modeling turbulent mixing is a standing challenge for nonpremixed chemically reacting flows. Key complications arise from the requirement to capture all relevant scales of the flow and the necessity to distinguish between turbulent advective transport and molecular diffusive transport processes. In addition, anisotropic mean shear, variable advection time scales, and the coexistence of turbulent and nonturbulent regions need to be represented. The fundamental issues at stake are addressed by investigating multi-scalar mixing in a three-stream coaxial jet with a map-based stochastic one-dimensional turbulence model. ODT provides full-scale resolution at affordable costs by a radical reduction of complexity compared to high-fidelity Navier–Stokes solvers. The approach is partly justified by an application of the boundary-layer approximation, but neglects fluctuating axial pressure gradients. It is demonstrated that low-order scalar statistics are reasonably but not fully captured. Despite this shortcoming, it is shown that the model is able to reproduce experimental state-space statistics of multi-stream multi-scalar mixing. The model therefore offers physics-compatible improvements in multi-stream mixing modeling despite some fundamental limitations that remain from unjustified assumptions.

Turbulent concentric coaxial pipe flows are numerically investigated as canonical problem addressing spanwise curvature effects on heat and momentum transfer that are encountered in various engineering applications. It is demonstrated that the wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity (WALE) model within a large-eddy simulation (LES) framework, without model parameter recalibration, has limited predictive capabilities as signalized by poor representation of wall curvature effects and notable grid dependence. The identified lack in the modeling of radial transport processes is therefore addressed here by utilizing a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. A standalone ODT formulation for cylindrical geometry is used in order to assess to which extent the predictability can be expected to improve by utilizing an advanced wall-modeling strategy.
