An eddy-viscosity-based near-wall treatment is proposed to enable large-eddy simulations ͑LES͒ to be performed on coarse grids. This formulation consists of imposing wall stress boundary conditions and an eddy viscosity in the near-wall region. The wall stress and eddy viscosity have a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes-like character and are obtained from an averaged velocity profile of a resolved LES of channel flow at Re = 395. Both are tabulated and are used for the instantaneous quantities. The tabulated eddy viscosity is further corrected using the resolved turbulent stress. Numerical results for flow in a channel at several Reynolds numbers ranging from Re = 395 to Re = 10000 are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
