Proposed Changes

Hi everyone,

I have been working on the implementation of the DDES formulations for the SST model, following the work in "Development of DDES and IDDES Formulations for the k-ω Shear Stress Transport Model" (DOI:10.1007/s10494-011-9378-4). The implementation is easy, whereas the validation may take some time. I am currently working on the backward facing step and I will work on the flatplate too. The choice of the validation test cases is key since the computational cost is quite large, thus if you have any suggestions that may speed up this part then feel free to write them down.

Implemented versions:

  • SST-DDES
  • SST-IDDES
  • SST-SIDDES

I am also working on the Scale Adaptive Simulations (SAS) implementations for SST, following the work in "ON URANS SOLUTIONS WITH LES-LIKE BEHAVIOUR", Travis et al., and "[Evaluation of scale-adaptive simulation for transonic cavity flows", Babu et al., (https://www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/abs/10.1504/IJESMS.2016.075510). The last one, especially, is quite tricky due to the computation of the velocity laplacian. I tried computing it in Paraview as the divergence of the gradient field and it seems quite similar, but it is the first time that I've touched that section of the code, thus some work might still be needed.

Implemented versions:

  • SST-SAS_Simple (better naming is necessary), from the article of Travis et al.
  • SST-SAS_Complicated (better naming is necessary), it is related to the article from Babu et al.

PR Checklist

Put an X by all that apply. You can fill this out after submitting the PR. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! We want to help. These are a guide for you to know what the reviewers will be looking for in your contribution.

  • I am submitting my contribution to the develop branch.
  • My contribution generates no new compiler warnings (try with --warnlevel=3 when using meson).
  • My contribution is commented and consistent with SU2 style (https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Style-Guide/).
  • I used the pre-commit hook to prevent dirty commits and used pre-commit run --all to format old commits.
  • I have added a test case that demonstrates my contribution, if necessary.
  • I have updated appropriate documentation (Tutorials, Docs Page, config_template.cpp), if necessary.

These are for computing the grid size for scale resolving simulations from an SA solution. Probably it has to be revised a little bit, since I found out that the formulation for the TKE is different if the QCR mod is used, thus I think I'll remove them for now.

Use a pointer for velocity and then you only need one of each function instead of handling xyz separately.

These outputs need to go somewhere else or they will break the restarts.
Solution is exclusively for solution variables, these are derived, put them where we have similar things (e.g. Q criterion)

Hi @bigfooted, unfortunately I do not have enough time/computational power to perform a proper validation. I only tried something with a NACA0021 at 17 deg and 60 deg and they were promising, at least for the DDES implementation. The SAS ones are not that good. I'll upload some post-processing as soon as I have the time to do so.

Thank you for your response. Firstly, I would like to know what Verification and Validation (V&V) work has been conducted on the SST-based DDES (Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation) model to date. Secondly, we can provide a compressor cascade validation, with an inlet Mach number of 0.4, a Reynolds number of approximately 500,000, and a spanwise height of about 20% of the chord length, ensuring that the vortices resolved by DDES can develop in three dimensions. Thirdly, as I am a rookie to GitHub, I have not yet found out how to download your pull request code. For further communication, you can contact me via email at [email protected]

Hi @rois1995, I believe there is an error or a typo in the Babu's paper in the Q_SAS source term and in turn in your implementation, which may be the reason for the poor performance in SAS results.

image

This term changes units depending on the output of the max function, which doesn't make any sense. I believe the terms in the max function should be divided by omega^2 and k^2 instead of omega and k, respectively. Which is exactly how it is done in https://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:5d23e2a6-5675-450d-bf3d-1dd40d736cae

I will try some of the benchmark cases in these papers when I have the time. Let me know what you think.

hi @BerkeCan97, thank you for your correction and for helping with the verification part. Indeed, that term seems really wrong, thus I expect that your correction would improve the results. However, the link that you have provided for the corrected version is broken, can you fix it please?

Regarding the test-cases, we were trying to run the NACA0021 at 60deg AoA, but with relatively poor results. Maybe we should start with the flatplate and the mixing layer proposed originally in the implementation of the DDES formulation coupled to the SA model in https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Cleber-Spode-2/publication/318143234_Hybrid_RANSLES_Calculations_in_SU2/links/59c07bfba6fdcca8e56fe3c3/Hybrid-RANS-LES-Calculations-in-SU2.pdf (or any other test-case in the paper you proposed, but I am not able to read that).

I can also start working on BFS if you think you got the flatplate covered or we both can work on flatplate to cross check each other. What do you think?

I think I got the flatplate covered, it should be easy (if the equations have been implemented correctly). The backward facing step and the diffuser I think are the most natural continuation as test cases, what do you think about it?

I'll start working on BFS then. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

I am currently working with @rois1995 on the flat plate case, taking as a reference result the skin friction coefficient computed using the coarse grid and the SA_DDES model (∆=∆max) from figure 3a in Hybrid RANS-LES Calculations in SU2. I ran the simulations using the already available SA_DDES model, to be compared with the reference result, and the models under development for SST (SST_DDES,SST_IDDES,SST_SIDDES). The reference data were extracted using a plot digitalizer, so they may be not so accurate, particularly in the zoom region. I attach also the density residuals for all the simulations and the TKE residuals for the simulations conducted with SST. The options SST_IDDES and SST_SIDDES do not allow a complete convergence and this issue is associated to a region close to the inlet and the symmetry boundary conditions. Although seemingly the implementation of the models does not have a direct dependence on the boundary conditions, this issue is absent for SST_DDES. As evidence of this undesirable and unexpected behavior, I attach the plot of the vertical velocity computed along a line parallel to the symmetry boundary (y=1e-6 , x between -0.33 and -0.05, with the flat plate beginning at x=0). I am currently working for understanding its cause.
