Posterior comparison of model dynamics in several hybrid turbulence model forms

Hybrid turbulence models that can accurately reproduce unsteady three-dimensional flow physics across the entire range of grid scales and turbulence dynamics from Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS), through large-eddy simulation (LES), down to direct numerical simulations (DNS) are of increasing interest to the turbulence modeling community. However, despite decades of research and development, the basic tasks of eliminating poor-performing hybrid RANS-LES models and accelerating adoption of superior models through well-designed validation and verification have yet to occur. As a step in this direction, in this work we evaluate thirteen different hybrid RANS-LES models via systematic grid refinement of decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We further derive a novel mathematical framework for assessing the energy partitioning dynamics of each Hybrid RANS-LES model, wherein model-to-model variations in energy partitioning can be interpreted as different feedback mechanisms operating on a low-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system. We found that model forms similar to the flow simulation methodology—also often termed very-large eddy simulation—are dynamically inconsistent with DNS at all resolutions. Additionally, we found a strong dynamical similarity in the feedback mechanisms of all models related to detached eddy simulation and partially averaged Navier–Stokes that is inherent to their general model forms.

Direct numerical simulations of activation and deactivation in turbulent atmospheric clouds

Significant knowledge gaps remain in our understanding of turbulence–cloud–aerosol interactions in the Earth's atmosphere, and direct numerical simulation (DNS) has increasingly become an indispensable tool to fill such critical knowledge gaps. Here, this study is an extension of our previous DNS model [Gao et al., J. Geophys. Res.: Atmos., 123(4), 2194–2214 (2018)], with a focus on the activation of aerosol particles into cloud droplets and deactivation of cloud droplets into aerosol particles in a microscale cloud environment. The effects of turbulence intensity, particle curvature, and solute, as well as the initial distributions of the aerosol particles (monodisperse or polydisperse) are investigated. The governing equations for the flow of air, temperature, and water vapor mixing ratio are solved numerically in the Eulerian fashion, assuming homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. The dynamics of the aerosol and cloud particles are calculated with the Lagrangian particle tracking method. The results show that the deviations of the thermodynamic variables from their respective means are significantly reduced, the activation process appears to be delayed, and the deactivation process occurs more rapidly, as the turbulence intensity is increased. The inclusion of particle curvature and solute effects, as well as polydispersity, tends to retard the activation of aerosols into cloud droplets. It is also observed that fluctuations in supersaturation broaden the spread of particle radii, and the broadening is followed by a narrowing as turbulent homogenization reduces thermodynamic fluctuations over time.

High-Fidelity Simulation of the Light-to-Dense Stratification Transient in the HiRJET Facility

Density stratification in a large enclosure is a crucial phenomenon to heat transfer and sustainable passive heat removal of a sodium fast reactor during reactivity transients. However, engineering turbulence models were identified to have unsatisfactory performance in predicting propagation of a stratified front. Yet, the scarcity of high-resolution data for stratification hampers the development of models. To explor e applications of leveraging direct numerical simulation (DNS) data to support turbulence model development, this work conducted DNS using NekRS to study a long stratification transient in the High-Resolution Jet (HiRJET) experimental facility. Here, this work considers an experiment run where light fluid is injected into a tank containing a denser fluid with a relative density difference of 1.5%. Formation of the stratified layer is identified as impingement of the buoyant jet promoting mixing of the two fluids. Based on the transient statistics, transport of the concentration can be characterized by regions with dominating effects of turbulent mixing, buoyant dissipation, and molecular diffusion, respectively, as moving away from the elevation of jet impingement. Concentration near the stratified front also exhibits oscillation at Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Preliminary validation of the simulation showed encouraging agreement of the concentration distribution with the reference experiment.

Physics-informed machine learning of the Lagrangian dynamics of velocity gradient tensor

Reduced models describing the Lagrangian dynamics of the velocity gradient tensor (VGT) in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) are developed under the physics-informed machine learning (PIML) framework. We consider the VGT at both Kolmogorov scale and coarse-grained scale within the inertial range of HIT. Building reduced models requires resolving the pressure Hessian and subfilter contributions, which is accomplished by constructing them using the integrity bases and invariants of the VGT. The developed models can be expressed using the extended tensor basis neural network (TBNN) introduced by Ling et al. [J. Fluid Mech. 807, 155 (2016)]. Physical constraints, such as Galilean invariance, rotational invariance, and incompressibility condition, are thus embedded in the models explicitly. Our PIML models are trained on the Lagrangian data from a high-Reynolds number direct numerical simulation (DNS). To validate the results, we perform a comprehensive out-of-sample test. We observe that the PIML model provides an improved representation for the magnitude and orientation of the small-scale pressure Hessian contributions. Statistics of the flow, as indicated by the joint PDF of second and third invariants of the VGT, show good agreement with the “ground-truth” DNS data. A number of other important features describing the structure of HIT are reproduced by the model successfully. We have also identified challenges in modeling inertial range dynamics, which indicates that a richer modeling strategy is required. This helps us identify important directions for future research, in particular towards including inertial range geometry into the TBNN.

Molecular-gas-dynamics simulations of turbulent Couette flow over a mean-free-path-scale permeable substrate

Here we report flow statistics and visualizations from molecular-gas-dynamics simulations using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method for turbulent Couette flow in a minimal domain where the lower wall is replaced by an idealized permeable fibrous substrate representative of thermal-protection-system materials for which the Knudsen number is O(10 -1 ). Comparisons are made with smooth-wall DSMC simulations and smooth-wall direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the Navier-Stokes equations for the same conditions. Roughness, permeability, and noncontinuum effects are assessed. In the range of Reynolds numbers considered herein, the scalings of the skin friction on the permeable substrate and of the mean flow within the substrate suggest that they are dominated by viscous effects. While the regenerative cycle characteristic of smooth-wall turbulence remains intact for all cases considered, we observe that the near-wall velocity fluctuations are modulated by the permeable substrate with a wavelength equal to the pore spacing. Additionally, the flow within the substrate shows significant rarefaction effects, resulting in an apparent permeability that is 13% larger than the intrinsic permeability. In contrast, the smooth-wall DSMC and DNS simulations exhibit remarkably good agreement for the statistics examined, despite the Knudsen number based on the viscous length scale being as large as O(10 -1 ). This latter result is at variance with classical estimates for the breakdown of the continuum assumption and calls for further investigations into the interaction of noncontinuum effects and turbulence.

Techniques for improved statistical convergence in quantification of eddy diffusivity moments

While recent approaches, such as the macroscopic forcing method (MFM) or Green's function-based approaches, can be used to compute Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes closure operators using forced direct numerical simulations, MFM can also be used to directly compute moments of the effective nonlocal and anisotropic eddy diffusivities. The low-order spatial and temporal moments contain limited information about the eddy diffusivity but are often sufficient for quantification and modeling of nonlocal and anisotropic effects. However, when using MFM to compute eddy diffusivity moments, the statistical convergence can be slow for higher-order moments. In this work, we demonstrate that using the same direct numerical simulation (DNS) for all forced MFM simulations improves statistical convergence of the eddy diffusivity moments. We present its implementation in conjunction with a decomposition method that handles the MFM forcing semianalytically and allows for consistent boundary condition treatment, which we develop for both scalar and momentum transport. We demonstrate that for a two-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor instability case study, using the same DNS for all forced MFM simulations results in convergence with 𝒪⁡(100) simulations rather than 𝒪⁡(1000) simulations. In conclusion, we then demonstrate the impacts of improved convergence on the quantification of the eddy diffusivity.

Feedback Power Cost Optimization in Power Distribution Networks with Prosumers

Here, we propose a feedback control approach for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problems in power distribution networks (DNs) based on a projected gradient scheme, where the cost is given by the sum of functions of local power injections. This approach does not require detailed knowledge of the grid model and enables real-time tracking of the optimal generation configuration. Moreover, the communication burden is minimal: only a broadcast from a central entity, called the Network Supervisor (NS), to the agents in the network is needed. Hence, agents do not have to share local information that can be sensitive, e.g., their power injections or the value of the local costs. Our approach is then used to solve a particular OPF problem targeting DNs with high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in which the energy cost is given by the remuneration that the DERs owners receive for the service they provide.

Application of Scalar Filtered Density Function to Turbulent Flows Under Supercritical Condition

Abstract The scalar filtered density function (FDF) methodology is extended and employed for large eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows under supercritical condition. To describe real fluid behavior, the extended methodology incorporates the generalized heat and mass diffusion models along with real fluid thermodynamic relations which are derived using the cubic Peng–Robinson equation of state. These models are implemented within the stochastic differential equations comprising the scalar FDF transport. Simulations are conducted of a temporally developing mixing layer under supercritical condition and the results are assessed by comparing with data generated by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the same layer. The consistency of the proposed FDF methodology is assessed. The LES-FDF predictions are shown to agree favorably with the DNS data and exhibit several key features pertaining to supercritical turbulent flows.

Modeling of Cube Array Roughness: RANS, Large Eddy Simulation, and Direct Numerical Simulation

Abstract Flow over arrays of cubes is an extensively studied model problem for rough wall turbulent boundary layers. While considerable research has been performed in computationally investigating these topologies using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES), the ability of sublayer-resolved Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) to predict the bulk flow phenomena of these systems is relatively unexplored, especially at low and high packing densities. Here, RANS simulations are conducted on six different packing densities of cubes in aligned and staggered configurations. The packing densities investigated span from what would classically be defined as isolated, up to those in the d-type roughness regime, filling in the gap in the present literature. Three different sublayer-resolved turbulence closure models were tested for each case: a low Reynolds number k–ϵ model, the Menter k–ω SST model, and a full Reynolds stress model. Comparisons of the velocity fields, secondary flow features, and drag coefficients are made between the RANS results and existing LES and DNS results. There is a significant degree of variability in the performance of the various RANS models across all comparison metrics. However, the Reynolds stress model demonstrated the best accuracy in terms of the mean velocity profile as well as drag partition across the range of packing densities.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Transitional and Turbulent Flows Over Multi-Scale Surface Roughness—Part I: Methodology and Challenges

Abstract High-fidelity simulation of transitional and turbulent flows over multi-scale surface roughness presents several challenges. For instance, the complex and irregular geometrical nature of surface roughness makes it impractical to employ conforming structured grids, commonly adopted in large-scale numerical simulations due to their high computational efficiency. One possible solution to overcome this problem is offered by immersed boundary methods, which allow wall boundary conditions to be enforced on grids that do not conform to the geometry of the solid boundary. To this end, a three-dimensional, second-order accurate boundary data immersion method (BDIM) is adopted. A novel mapping algorithm that can be applied to general three-dimensional surfaces is presented, together with a newly developed data-capturing methodology to extract and analyze on-surface flow quantities of interest. A rigorous procedure to compute gradient quantities such as the wall shear stress and the heat flux on complex non-conforming geometries is also introduced. The new framework is validated by performing a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of fully developed turbulent channel flow over sinusoidal egg-carton roughness in a minimal-span domain. For this canonical case, the averaged streamwise velocity profiles are compared against results from the literature obtained with a body-fitted grid. General guidelines on the BDIM resolution requirements for multi-scale roughness simulation are given. Momentum and energy balance methods are used to validate the calculation of the overall skin friction and heat transfer at the wall. The BDIM is then employed to investigate the effect of irregular homogeneous surface roughness on the performance of an LS-89 high-pressure turbine blade at engine-relevant conditions using DNS. This is the first application of the BDIM to realize multi-scale roughness for transitional flow in transonic conditions in the context of high-pressure turbines. The methodology adopted to generate the desired roughness distribution and to apply it to the reference blade geometry is introduced. The results are compared to the case of an equivalent smooth blade.

Modeling Microwave-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Infiltration Process for Preventing Premature Pore Closure

The chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process involves infiltrating a porous preform with reacting gases that undergo chemical transformation at high temperatures to deposit the ceramic phase within the pores, ultimately leading to a dense composite. The conventional CVI process in composite manufacturing needs to follow an isothermal approach to minimize temperature differences between the external and internal surfaces of the preform, ensuring that reactive gases infiltrate internal pores before external surfaces seal. Here, this study addresses the challenge of premature pore closure in CVI processes through microwave heating. A frequency-domain microwave solver is developed in OpenFOAM to investigate volumetric heating mechanisms within the preform. Through numerical studies, we demonstrate the capability of microwave heating of creating an inside-out temperature inversion. This inversion accelerates reactions proximal to the preform center, effectively mitigating the risk of premature external pore closure and ensuring uniform densification. The results reveal a significant enhancement in temperature inversion when high-permittivity reflectors are incorporated to generate resonant waves. This microwave heating strategy is then coupled with high-fidelity direct numerical simulation (DNS) of reacting flow, enabling the analysis of resulting densification processes. The DNS includes detailed chemistry and realistic diffusion coefficients. The numerical results can be used to estimate the impact of microwave-induced temperature inversion on densification in productions.

Code for the manuscript "Lagrangian Attention Tensor Networks for Velocity Gradient Statistical Mode

We disclose a python/pytorch implementation of the physics-informed machine learning algorithm described in "Lagrangian Attention Tensor Networks for Velocity Gradient Statistical Modeling", LA-UR-24-30678. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of ubiquitous turbulence phenomena is computationally infeasible for realistic flows. As a result, reduced modeling for turbulent flows aim to reduce the number of resolved scales while retaining accurate representations of the small-scale physics. The dynamics of the velocity gradient tensor (VGT) is a key ingredient in reduced or subgrid turbulence models. The evolution equation for the VGT involves nonlocal terms, requiring closure modeling. This implementation of the novel methodology of Lagrangian Attention Tensor Networks (LATN), utilizes a structured representation of the history of the VGT to inform a physics-informed machine learning algorithm. This addition of structured memory terms is shown to outperform previous models when trained and evaluated on DNS data.

A Micromorphic Length-Scale Coupling Framework for the Determination of Higher-Order Constitutive Models and the Multi-Scale Simulation of Heterogeneous Materials [Thesis]

Heterogeneous materials and materials with complex microstructures pose a unique challenge in the development of accurate models of their response to external stimuli. These difficulties principally arise due to the difficulty in characterizing and modeling the constituents and their interactions. It is usually possible, though non-trivial, to construct an explicit representation of the microstructure (a direct numeric simulation or DNS) but the method by which the complex modes of deformation and other processes can be homogenized to a reduced-order approximation is frequently unclear. Many homogenization approaches are ad-hoc and lack a strong justification beyond ease of computation. Furthermore, the homogenization approach can, in some cases, not utilize the full breadth of information available in the computation of the macro-scale stresses and deformation measures. It is also noteworthy that homogenization, by its very nature, will tend to obfuscate details of processes occurring at the lower length-scale. It is therefore of interest to include as much information as possible in the construction of the reduced-order model so as to be predictive in a variety of loading environments. We here present a length-scale bridging technique based upon the micromorphic continuum mechanics of Eringen which incorporates volume and surface area averages as a part of its construction. This approach enforces the balance equations at the micro-scale and then studies the effect of the spatially varying nature on the macro-scale. This leads, naturally, to further balance equations which are solved at the macro-scale. This work details a homogenization framework which arises naturally from the micromorphic construction of Eringen attempting to introduce no definitions beyond which are justifiable from micro-structural considerations. One of the results of this effort is the so-called “micromorphic filter” which has been developed and applied to several DNS to demonstrate its effectively. In order to determine the macroscopic degrees of freedom we utilize the special case of an overlap coupling technique where the macro-scale is fully constrained to the micro-scale. This enables us to study the resulting material properties as expected but also allows us to further study the boundary conditions on the additional degrees of freedom at the macro-scale.

Results of the Micromorphic Upscaling Workflow for the PSAAP III Year 3 Report

Predicting the mechanical response and failure of heterogeneous materials has proven difficult. Multiscale numerical methods based in higher order continuum theories attempt to bridge the gap between microscale and macroscale structural behavior. Micromorphic continuum theories have shown promise. The Tardigrade software package is an implementation of Eringen’s micromorphic continuum theory with capabilities to support multiscale material modeling workflows. These include homogenization through the Micromorphic Filter, calibration of micromorphic material models, and macroscale simulation in Tardigrade-MOOSE. This work discusses micromorphic upscaling efforts of the University of Colorado Boulder PSAAP III multidisciplinary simulation center (MSC). Verification studies are presented that compare the accuracy of the upscaling workflow with analytical solutions for a trivial stress state and homogeneous material using direct numerical simulations (DNS) conducted in the Ratel finite element method (FEM) and GEOS material point method (MPM) codes. These verification studies consider upscaling using the Micromorphic Filter for a “single filter domain”. Finally, DNS of a heterogeneous composite material is upscaled using a “multiple filter domain” method.

Impact of Vibrational Nonequilibrium on the Supersonic Mode in Hypersonic Boundary Layers

The supersonic mode in hypersonic boundary layers has recently been shown to achieve a larger peak growth rate than the traditional second mode in particular circumstances relevant to free flight. In this environment, high levels of aerodynamic heating are encountered such that incorporation of chemical and vibrational nonequilibrium effects can become critical. The impact of thermal nonequilibrium (TNE) on the supersonic mode in particular has not been thoroughly and systematically investigated. This work uses thermochemical nonequilibrium (TCNE) direct numerical simulation (DNS) and TCNE linear stability theory (LST) to obtain a more complete investigation of the supersonic mode using both nonequilibrium and frozen gas models. The simulation is Mach 5 flow over a 1-mm-nose-radius axisymmetric cone 1 m in length, representative of experimental conditions in ground test facilities. Both LST and DNS results indicate that TNE effects are destabilizing compared with frozen flow and can lead to an N-factor difference of approximately +1 at the end of the cone. LST results also indicate that TNE effects are stabilizing to the second and supersonic modes in comparison with thermal equilibrium. The supersonic mode appeared to be slightly more affected by TNE than the second mode. In conclusion, collectively, the findings in this work suggest that even in ground test facilities where TCNE effects are relatively small compared with free flight, incorporating nonequilibrium models in both the mean flow and stability solvers can have a practical effect on hypersonic boundary-layer transition prediction analyses.

Direct Numerical Simulation Database of High-Speed Flow over Parameterized Curved Walls

This study presents a direct numerical simulation (DNS) database of high-speed turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) subject to pressure gradients due to parametrically varied backward-facing and forward-facing wall curvatures, with an inflow Mach number of 4.9 and a friction Reynolds number of [Formula: see text] immediately before the onset of wall curvature. The Mach and Reynolds numbers are significantly higher than those reported in the literature for the DNS of pressure-gradient TBLs. The flow conditions and baseline wall geometries are representative of experiments in the high-speed blowdown wind tunnel at the National Aerothermochemistry Laboratory at Texas A&M University. The wall steepness of the baseline geometry for both the backward-facing and forward-facing walls was systematically varied to cause attached, incipiently separated, and fully separated flows. Precomputed flow statistics, including turbulent kinetic energy budgets, are available on the website of the Turbulence Modeling Resource of the NASA Langley Research Center, allowing other investigators to query any property of interest.

Production and characterization of extracellular cellulases from a native strain of Trichoderma harzianum using wheat straw from the Mexicali valley as the carbon source. Producción y caracterización de celulasas Extracelulares a partir de cepa nativa de Trichoderma harzianum usando como fuente de Carbono paja de trigo del valle de Mexicali

The purpose of this study was to produce cellulase enzyme from a native strain Trichoderma harzianum, isolated from crop soil. Cellulase production was carried out by two different methods of fermentation, submerging and solid state fermentation. Mandels mineral medium was used as a source of nitrogen and ammonium sulfate. Dry and ground wheat straw was used in fermentation as a carbon source. Cellulase activity was determined using the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The results showed that wheat straw has the potential to be used as a substrate in the production of cellulases. Trichoderma harzianum showed enzymatic activity of 0.125 FPU / ml (filter paper units) and 1. 35 U / ml CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose units) by solid state fermentation (FSS) after 96 hours of fermentation. The optimum pH for the two substrates was determined by testing with citrate buffers (pH 4 to 6), phosphates (pH 6 to 7) and tris-HCL (pH 8 to 9). To determine the optimum temperature the range of 30 ° C to 80 ° C was investigated. Storage tests were performed every seven days over a period of 6 weeks. The optimum activity pH on paper and CMC was found to be 6. The optimum activity temperature is 70 ° C for PF and 80 ° C for CMC. El propósito de este estudio fue producir enzima celulasa a partir de una cepa nativa Trichoderma harzianum, aislada de suelo de cultivo. La producción de celulasa se realizó por dos métodos diferentes de fermentación, sumergida y fermentación en estado sólido. Se utilizó medio mineral Mandels y como fuentes de nitrógeno urea y sulfato de amonio. Se utilizó paja de trigo seca y molida en las fermentaciones como fuente de carbono. La actividad de la celulasa se determinó por medición de azúcares reductores al papel filtro y a la carboximetilcelulosa usando el método del ácido 3,5- dinitrosalicílico (DNS). Los resultados mostraron que la paja de trigo tiene el potencial para usarse como sustrato en la producción de celulasas. Trichoderma harzianum mostró actividad enzimática de 0.125 FPU/ml (unidades de papel filtro) y 1.35 U/ml a la CMC (unidades de carboximetilcelulosa) por fermentación en estado sólido (FSS) después de 96 horas de fermentación. El pH óptimo para los dos sustratos se determinó realizando pruebas con buffers de citratos (pH 4 a 6), de fosfatos (pH 6 a 7) y tris- HCL (pH 8 a 9). Para la determinación de la temperatura óptima se manejó el rango de 30°C a 80°C. Las pruebas de almacenamiento se realizaron cada siete días en un periodo de 6 semanas. Se encontró que el pH óptimo de actividad en papel y CMC es de 6. La temperatura óptima de actividad es de 70°C para PF y de 80°C para CMC.
