Abstract:A hybrid Large Eddy simulation / Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence model is applied to compute the wavefront aberrations in an optical beam passing through a supersonic open cavity flow. The turbulence model blends a RANS-type closure near solid walls with a subgrid model in the free-stream based on the ratios of estimated inner and outer turbulent length scales. The cavity geometry is modeled using an immersed boundary method, and an auxiliary flat plate simulation is performed to replicate the effec… Show more
